Radiation modes

When the SRI is equal to the cladding one, the cladding layer becomes an infinitely extended medium and thus supports no discrete cladding modes. In this case, a broadband radiation mode coupling occurs with no distinct attenuation bands8.

As mentioned in Sect. 15.2, sometimes a 4th thin layer (M) of metal or die is incorporated between the substrate and waveguide film to decrease the radiation loss into the substrate of the substrate radiation modes. These modes are referred to as leaky modes and the obtained structure is the MCLW. This configuration is also broadly used in evanescent wave sensor systems. 

Finally, we make a few additional remarks. First, note that a pure number state is a3j= state whose phase 0k is evenly distributed between 0 and 2n. This is a consequence of the commutation relation [3] between Nk and e,0 <. Nevertheless, dipole mafKi w elements calculated between number states are (as all quantum mechanical amplitudes) well-defined complex numbers, and as such they have well-defined phajje j S Thus, the phases of the dipole matrix elements in conjunction with the mode ph f i f/)k [Eq. (12.15)] yield well-defined matter + radiation phases that determine the outcome of the photodissociation process. As in the weak-field domain, if only gJ one incident radiation mode exists then the phase cancels out in the rate expres4<3 [Eq. (12.35)], provided that the RWA [Eqs. (12.44) and (12.45)] is adoptedf However, in complete analogy with the treatment of weak-field control, if we irradh ate the material system with two or more radiation modes then the relative pb between them may have a pronounced effect on the fully interacting state, phase control is possible.

The couplings within the sub-systems consisting of the atomic states and the two radiation modes corresponding to at most a single excitation are shown in Fig. 7. The set of collective states can be separated into groups with specific excitation numbers n+, ii- in the two polarization modes.

Here e1 is the fundamental transverse microscopic electric held operator and b is the corresponding magnetic held operator. The superscript on the electric held operator designate its transverse character with respect to the direction of propagation, redundant in the case of the magnetic held as it is intrinsically transverse, namely, divergence-free, since it arises from the curl of a vector potential held a(r). Since the electric held also derives from a(r), we concentrate first on the second-quantized form of this vector potential, which is cast in terms of a summation over radiation modes as follows ... 

Here V denotes the quantization volume, and e 1 is the unit polarization vector for the radiation mode characterized by wavevector k, polarization A and circular frequency co = c k where it appears, an overbar denotes complex conjugation. The polarization vector is considered a complex quantity specifically to admit the possibility of circular or elliptical polarizations. Associated with each mode (k, A) are a Hermitian conjugate pair of photon annihilation and creation operators, and k / , respectively, which operate eigenstates of //raci with m(k, A) photons (m being the mode occupation number) as follows... 

The j H(S> associated with each radiation mode is the energy associated with the familiar vacuum fluctuations, the origin of spontaneous emission and self-energy corrections. The eigenstates m(k, X)) of Hmd are number states states that more closely model the coherence and other properties of laser light will be introduced later. 

Whilst the above is perfectly adequate for the description of processes observed with continuous-wave (cw) input, proper representation of the optical response to pulsed laser radiation requires one further modification to the theory. It is commonly thought difficult to represent pulses of light using quantum field theory indeed, it is impossible if a number state basis is employed. However by expressing the radiation as a product of coherent states with a definite phase relationship, it is relatively simple to construct a wavepacket to model pulsed laser radiation [39]. The physical basis for this approach is that pulses necessarily have a finite linewidth and therefore in fact entail a large number of radiation modes, so that for the pump radiation, it is appropriate to construct a coherent superposition... 

This constant is essentially the limit of K as gi en by Eq. (5.14), in the case where the two absorbed photons become identical however, the factor rtiniY is replaced by n (n — 1) since the photon annihilation operator acts twice on the same radiation mode. As will be seen below, this difference is ultimately reflected in a dependence on the coherence properties of the laser source, which is uniquely associated with single-beam processes. It is also worth observing that although the first two terms of Eq. (5.13) become identical if the two absorbed photons are deiived from the same beam, inclusion of a factor of 2 in Eq. (6.1) would amount to double-counting the time-ordered diagrams, and is therefore not ap])ropriate.

The effective area and geometric configuration for the heat transfer through the insulation correspond to two hollow concentric cylinders attached to hemispherical ends. The advantage of this type of configuration is that isotherms are smooth and continuous throughout the insulation sample and thus aid in the interpretation of data where conduction and radiation modes of heat transfer are sought independently.
