Binary black hole may form near a supermassive hole. The background (BH) will affect the gravitational wave (GW) generated by binary It is well known that Penrose process provide extra energy due to ergosphere. In present paper we investigate amplification of Kerr background. particular and different from earlier studies, compare energies waves in cases with without nearby BH. We find only when...

This thesis advocates for a physical mechanism which induces significant asymmetric wavetransport in scattering systems –ensuring or inhibiting substantial wave-transmission depending upon the direction of an incident wave. The specific components underpinning this mechanism are active nonlinear-elements with balanced amplification and attenuation. Initially, the validity of this mechanism is d...

The influence of localized water currents on the nonlinear dynamics and stability of large amplitude, statistically distributed gravity waves is investigated theoretically and numerically by means of an evolution equation for a Wigner function governing the spectrum of waves. It is shown that water waves propagating in the opposite direction of a localized current channel can be trapped in the ...

Spontaneous retinal waves are critical for the development of receptive fields in visual thalamus (LGN) and cortex (VC). Despite a detailed understanding of the circuit specializations in retina that generate waves, whether central circuit specializations also exist to control their propagation through visual pathways of the brain is unknown. Here we identify a developmentally transient, cortic...

A modified version of the plasma beat-wave accelerator scheme is proposed, based on autoresonant phase locking of the Langmuir wave to the slowly chirped beat frequency of the driving lasers by passage through resonance. Peak electric fields above standard detuning limits seem readily attainable, and the plasma wave excitation is robust to large variations in plasma density or chirp rate. This ...

We present novel experimental results demonstrating the coherence properties of the nonlinear emission from semiconductor microcavities in the strong coupling regime, recently interpreted by parametric polariton four-wave mixing. We use a geometry corresponding to degenerate four-wave mixing. In addition to the predicted threshold dependence of the emission on the pump power and spectral bluesh...

It is demonstrated that a frequency selective Alfvén-wave resonator can be realized by applying a nonuniform magnetic field to a plasma region bounded between a cathode and a semitransparent mesh anode. When a current threshold is exceeded, selective amplification results in a highly coherent, large amplitude wave that propagates into an adjacent plasma column.
