We present research on the excitation of ocean surface wind waves in non-homogeneous situations, for case a deep water strait presence constant wind, blowing perpendicular to coast line. The statistical wave model used is based Hasselmann equation with high-wavenumbers wave-breaking dissipation, exact non-linear four-wave interaction, and ZRP (Zakharov-Resio-Pushkarev (Zakharov et al. Nonlin Pr...

Weak measurement [1,19] combined with quantum delayed-choice experiment that use quantum beam splitter instead of the beam splitter give rise to a surprising amplification effect, i.e., counterintuitive negative amplification effect. We show that this effect is caused by the wave and particle behaviours of the system to be and can’t be explained by a semiclassical wave theory, due to the entang...

Optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) is one of the most powerful techniques for generating high-energy femtosecond laser pulses. Many efforts were devoted to get spectral-band amplification able to support sub-10-fs pulses. In the optical parametric amplification (OPA), broad gain bandwidths can be obtained if the wave-vectors mismatch, ∆k, slowly increases when the signal fre...

The polarization-related properties of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) processes in long, randomly birefringent, standard optical fibers are examined. Evolution equations for the pump and signal waves, in the presence of both birefringence and SBS, are provided in Jones and Stokes spaces. It is shown that in the undepleted pump regime, the amplification of the SBS signal wave is equivalen...

In this paper, we demonstrate that it is possible to combine both Raman amplification and polarization attraction of a signal wave in a single optical fiber by means of a counterpropagating scheme. Experiments were performed near 1550 nm in continuous wave regime and by means of a 10-Gbit/s return-to-zero signal injected in a 20 km-long lowPMD optical fiber. Complete repolarization and 6.7 dB a...

Stimulated Raman backscattering (SRS) has many unwanted effects in megajoule-scale inertially confined fusion (ICF) plasmas. Moreover, attempts to harness SRS to amplify short laser pulses through backward Raman amplification have achieved limited success. In high-temperature fusion plasmas, SRS usually occurs in a kinetic regime where the nonlinear response of the Langmuir wave to the laser dr...

[1] The deployment of USArray across the continental U.S. has prompted developments within surface wave tomography to exploit this unprecedented data set. Here, we present a method to measure a new surface wave observable: broadband surface wave amplification that provides new and unique constraints on elastic velocities and density within the crust and upper mantle. The method, similar to its ...
