Backward-wave regime and negative refraction in chiral composites

open access: yes, 2005
Possibilities to realize a negative refraction in chiral composites in in dual-phase mixtures of chiral and dipole particles is studied. It is shown that because of strong resonant interaction between chiral particles (helixes) and dipoles, there is a ...

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 566-581, March 2025.
A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.

The effect of differential refraction on wave propagation in rotating pulsar magnetospheres

open access: yes, 2004
Refraction of wave propagation in a corotating pulsar magnetospheric plasma is considered as a possible interpretation for observed asymmetric pulse profiles with multiple components. The pulsar radio emission produced inside the magnetosphere propagates

Evidence for a secondary bow in Newton's zero-order nuclear rainbow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Rainbows are generally considered to be caused by static refraction and reflection. A primary and a secondary rainbow appear due to refraction and internal reflection in a raindrop as explained by Newton.

Impact of a Turbulent Ocean Surface on Laser Beam Propagation

open access: yesSensors, 2022
The roughness of the ocean surface significantly impacts air-to-sea imaging, oceanographic monitoring, and optical communication. Most current and previous methods for addressing this roughness and its impact on optical propagation are either entirely ...

Nonlinear Negative Refraction by Difference Frequency Generation

open access: yes, 2015
Negative refraction has attracted much interest for its promising capability in imaging applications. Such an effect can be implemented by negative index meta-materials, however, which are usually accompanied by high loss and demanding fabrication ...
