Soft Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Nonlinear excitation of second sound in superfluid solutions He3-He4 by light waves due to their absorption is discussed. Nonlinear wave equations that model the interaction of second-sound waves with light waves are derived, the expression for the nonlinear interaction length is obtained and an order-of-magnitude numerical estimate of the distance at which a second-sound wave could be amplified from a fluctuation level up to observable values is performed.
