We study the effect of velocity shear on the spectrum of MHD surface waves. A nonuniform intermediate region is taken into account, so that the surface wave can be subject to resonant absorption. In order to deal in a mathematically and also physically consistent manner with the resonant wave excitation, we analytically derive the dissipative solution around the resonant surface in resistive MH...

Photonic crystal bandgap fibers employing distributed mode filtering design provide near diffraction-limited light outputs, a critical property of fiber-based high-power lasers. Microstructure of the fibers is tailored to achieve single-mode operation at specific wavelength by resonant mode coupling of higher-order modes. We analyze the modal regimes of the fibers having a mode field diameter o...

A second-order diffraction grating placed below the active region of a phase-locked resonant antiguided array selects the in-phase array mode in addition to its role as a single-longitudinal-mode selector. This type of array-mode discrimination relies on the fact that the resonant in-phase array mode has significantly better field overlap with the grating region than nonresonant array modes. Fu...

Abstract. This work discusses the first numerical simulation results of fishbone excitation by a suprathermal electron population due to, e.g., electron cyclotron resonance heating and/or lower hybrid wave current drive. The precession resonance underlying the linear instability is clearly identified. Meanwhile, mode saturation is shown to occur because of the secular resonant particle motion, ...

This work investigates the effects of asymmetric cross-sectional geometry on the resonant response of silicon nanowires. The work demonstrates that dimensional variances of less than 2% qualitatively alter a nanosystem's near-resonant response, yielding a non-Lorentzian frequency response structure, which is a direct consequence of resonant mode splitting. Experimental results show that this ef...

Metamaterial designs are typically limited to operation over a narrow bandwidth dictated by the resonant line width. Here we report a compliant metamaterial with tunability of Δλ ∼ 400 nm, greater than the resonant line width at optical frequencies, using high-strain mechanical deformation of an elastomeric substrate to controllably modify the distance between the resonant elements. Using this ...

It is reported in the published literature that the resonant frequency of a silicon micromachined gyroscope decreases linearly with increasing temperature. However, when the axial force is considerable, the resonant frequency might increase as the temperature increases. The axial force is mainly induced by thermal stress due to the mismatch between the thermal expansion coefficients of the stru...

Nonlinear dynamics, such as saturation and frequency chirping of Alfvénic fluctuations driven by energetic particles are investigated by means of the nonlinear hybrid magnetohydrodynamics gyrokinetic code (XHMGC). Saturation mechanism due to resonance detuning and/or radial decoupling are discussed. It will be shown that saturation field level exhibits a quadratic scaling with the growth rate, ...

The analysis of resonant frequency for anisotropic artificial circular dielectric resonator (CDR) encapsulated in waveguide is investigated theoretically. The anisotropic permittivity of CDR is established by taking a relative permittivity value in one direction higher than the values of other directions in cylindrical coordinate system. By deriving Maxwell time-dependent curl equations for the...
