Mode amplitude

This value depends on the spectral width of the resonant mode, amplitude noise (e.g., thermal and shot noise), spectral noise (e.g., thermo-optic variations in the sensing device), and the spectral resolution of the measurement technique21. Minimizing these parameters will improve the DL. 

From Eqs. (26) it immediately follows that the relations between the standard mode amplitudes p, q and Bloch amplitudes pf, are... 

Equation (54) can suffer from numerical instabilities. Therefore we adopt the immittance matrix approach. First we define the column vector of mode amplitudes p(p) in the same way as in Eq. (41). Then the immittance matrix is introduced by the relation... 

If a multitude of individual waveguides is eontained in a complex eireuitry, then parametric models for basic entities are preferentially used, whieh apply to the optieal signal level, i.e. to complex (mode) amplitudes. 

In order to optimise individual structures in the lO-design the definition of parameter-loops and scanning routines is required. In combination with this, post-processing of BPM-runs to evaluate channel-specific mode amplitudes, system transmission etc. is necessary, as well, which is assisted by eommercial lO-design tools, naturally. This facilitates the generation of parametric models for any optical sub-system, cf. figures 11 and 12, which at the end is a prerequisite for an efficient system design. 

Figure 11 2 3. Band structure of MgB2 calculated for the distorted geometry. The displacement of B atoms is f = 0.005/atom (fraction unit) that correspond to 0.032 A0 of B1-B2 bond length elongation for stretching vibration (E2g(a) phonon mode amplitude). At this displacement, the lower splitoff c band has just sank below EF. The Fermi level - EF is indicated by the dashed line. The band structure calculations indicate that dominant is Oi-G2 and Gi-71 bands coupling over the E2g phonon mode...

We have developed a model to explain the time dependent change in sensitivity for ions during excitation and detection. The first step is to describe the image charge displacement amplitude, S(Ap, Az), as a function of cyclotron and z-mode amplitudes. The displacement amplitude was derived using an approximate description of the antenna fields in a cubic cell. The second step in developing the model is to derive a relationship to describe the cyclotron orbit as a function of time for an rf burst. An energy conservation... 

Because low amplitude RF burst waveforms do not significantly modify the z-mode amplitudes of ions, the intensities would be expected to reflect the z-mode amplitude distribution just before excitation. This gives us one means of checking the above hypothesis by allowing the z-mode amplitudes to relax via ion-molecule collisions, the relative peak intensities should change. Indeed, at long delay, the high frequency peak increases at the expense of the low frequency peak. 

The observations that there is an "optimum" orbit size and that peaks split for orbits not too much larger than the optimum orbit suggest that the optimum orbit occurs because of special circumstances. One possible circumstance is a coincidence of frequencies for ions with low and high z-mode amplitudes so that if there are mass discriminating differences in the way the ions populate the trap or in the way ions are excited, then systematic mass measurement errors can be expected. Excitation of the cyclotron mode does produce a spread in cyclotron radii, and mass discriminating z-mode excitation is discussed elsewhere in this chapter. Thus, frequency variations that cause systematic mass errors are due in part to trap field inhomogeneities. These effects are evident at low ion populations and may be due in part to excitation induced ion cloud deformation which increases with ion number. 

For low ion populations, a first estimate of achievable ejection resolution might be obtained from the cyclotron frequency spread that occurs over the range of cyclotron orbit radii through which the ion must pass to be ejected. This is based on the notion that an ejection waveform that is just adequate to eject one ion must have a frequency spectral peak that is at least as wide as the above spread of frequencies. Such a waveform would then excite, at least to some extent, all ions with frequencies falling within the width of the peak, thus limiting the ejection resolution. For ions with low z-mode amplitudes, we can use Dunbar s (46) approximate expression for the average radial field strength,... 

Thus the fast modes follow the slow 1-modes. To obtain the equation for the slow mode amplitudes Y v> v = 0, 1, we put (3 0 into (32) for v = 1, take e " 0 and insert the adiabatic following relation (35) to obtain... 

The weak coupling of the atom with the discrete mode ud stands in contrast to the strong reservoir-atom coupling near the PBG edge. However, the main characteristics of the results are not modified when both couplings are of the same order of magnitude, except that the excited-state and the discrete-mode amplitudes oscillate more strongly.

Figure 7. Time evolution of the exact quantum Fano factors (a) Fp =F (N) for the fundamental mode and (b) F for the harmonic mode in Mh-harmonic generation for N = 2 (thickest curve), 3,4 and 5 (thinnest curve). Time t is rescaled with frequency fi, given by (52), and coupling constant g. The harmonic mode amplitude is r r 5. The dotted lines correspond to the semiclassical Fano factors, given by (54) and (55). It is seen that the fundamental mode is super-Poissonian, whereas the harmonic mode is sub-Poissonian for all nonzero evolution times.
