Cumulative Beam Breakup in Linear Accelerators with Arbitrary Beam Current Profile*
An analytical formalism for the solution of cumulative beam breakup in linear accelerators with arbitrary beam current profile is developed. It is applied to obtain an expression for the transverse displacement of trains of finite bunches. The same formalism is used to investigate the beam breakup-enhanced displacement of beams caused by the misalignment of the deflecting structures or focusing...
متن کاملPower-controlled transition from standard to negative refraction in reorientational soft matter.
Refraction at a dielectric interface can take an anomalous character in anisotropic crystals, when light is negatively refracted with incident and refracted beams emerging on the same side of the interface normal. In soft matter subject to reorientation, such as nematic liquid crystals, the nonlinear interaction with light allows tuning of the optical properties. We demonstrate that in such mat...
متن کاملNematicons and Their Electro-Optic Control: Light Localization and Signal Readdressing via Reorientation in Liquid Crystals
Liquid crystals in the nematic phase exhibit substantial reorientation when the molecules are driven by electric fields of any frequencies. Exploiting such a response at optical frequencies, self-focusing supports transverse localization of light and the propagation of self-confined beams and waveguides, namely "nematicons". Nematicons can guide other light signals and interact with inhomogenei...
متن کاملGuiding Light for Future Technologies SPATIAL OPTICAL SOLITONS
1047-6938/02/02/0059/5-$0015.00 © Optical Society of America One of the goals of modern nonlinear optics is the development of the ultimate fast, all-optical device in which light can be used to control light. The unique possibilities of reconfigurable circuits created in nonlinear bulk media without any fabricated optical waveguide can be achieved by employing the fundamental concept of light ...
متن کاملSelf{guided Beams in a Diiractive Medium: Variational Approach
It is demonstrated that the (1+1)-and (2+1)-dimensional self{guided beams (two-wave parametric spatial solitons) in a diiractive dielectric medium with purely quadratic nonlinearity (the so{called (2) material) can be eeectively approximated by means of a familiar variational approach. In particular, for the physical conditions for which no analytical solutions exist, the variational approach y...
