Simulations of nonlinear harmonic generation by an internal wave beam incident on a pycnocline [PDF]
Internal wave beams generated by oceanic tidal flows propagate upward and interact with the increasing stratification found at the pycnocline. The nonlinear generation of harmonic modes by internal wave beams incident on a pycnocline has recently been ...

Facile synthesis of ZnS–Ag2S core–shell nanospheres with enhanced nonlinear refraction
ZnS–Ag2S core–shell nano/hetero-junctions have been synthesized by a two-step co-precipitation technique, in which thin layers of Ag2S have been successfully coated on the surface of ZnS nanospheres.

Refraction of dispersive shock waves [PDF]
We study a dispersive counterpart of the classical gas dynamics problem of the interaction of a shock wave with a counter-propagating simple rarefaction wave often referred to as the shock wave refraction.

Effect of heavy metals (Ni, Cu, Pb) doped ZnO on the nonlinear optical properties
In this paper, the non-linear optical properties of undoped and doped ZnO thin films were investigated. The films were doped with Ni, Pb, and Cu. an increase in the refractive index against wavelength is apparent for all films up to a certain value of ...

Sensitivity optical non-linear measurement based on wide-band phase objects
On the basic that the phase object (PO) is the key optical device in the 4f imaging system, a modified high sensitivity optical nonlinear measurement technique with an absorptive homemade phase object (HPO) is reported in order to characterize the value ...

Figure of merit for design of ε-near-zero metamaterials with enhanced Kerrtype nonlinearities [PDF]
Metamaterials are artificial media designed to display properies going beyond those of ordinary materials. Particularly interesting are ε-near-zero (ENZ) media with real part of the permittivity going to zero in a certain spectral range.

Scattering of Solitons and Dark Solitons by Potential Walls in the Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation [PDF]
Scattering of solitons and dark solitons by potential walls is studied in the nonlinear Schroedinger equation under various conditions. We investigate the conditions under which solitons are split into two solitons at the potential wall.
