The purpose of this paper is to study the interaction between a two-level system and two continuous-mode photons. Two scenarios are investigated: Case 1, how a two-level system changes the pulse shapes of two input photons propagating in a…

We have developed a new method based on two cavities containing $\chi^{(2)}$ media to reshape optical pulses by an all-optical technique. The system is entirely passive \emph{i.e.}, all the energy is brought by the incoming pulse and uses…
The impulse response of a generalized fractional second order filter of the form ${{({{s}^{2\alpha}}+a{{s}^{\alpha}}+b)}^{-\gamma}}$ is derived, where $0<\alpha \le 1$, $0<\gamma <2$. The asymptotic properties of the impulse responses are…

It is shown that pulsar radio emission can be generated effectively through a streaming motion in the polar-cap regions of a pulsar magnetosphere causing nonresonant growth of waves that can escape directly. As in other beam models, a…

In the application of semiconductor detectors, the charge-sensitive amplifier is widely used in front-end electronics. The output signal is shaped by a typical exponential decay. Depending on the feedback network, this type of front-end…

Ideally, strong non-linearities could be used to implement quantum gates for photonic qubits by well controlled two photon interactions. However, the dependence of the non-linear interaction on frequency and time makes it difficult to…
A robust plasma gating to generate a single ultra-intense attosecond pulse is developed. It is a manifestation of the hole-boring effect that limits the strongest attosecond pulse emission within one laser cycle. The generated pulse is…
Time series forecasting under non-stationarity faces a fundamental tension between capturing stable representations and adapting to distribution shifts. Existing methods implicitly rely on static historical assumptions, leading to a…
Gravitational waves generated by inspiralling compact binaries are investigated to the second--post-Newtonian (2PN) approximation of general relativity. Using a recently developed 2PN-accurate wave generation formalism, we compute the…
We propose a novel class of Gaussian processes (GPs) whose spectra have compact support, meaning that their sample trajectories are almost-surely band limited. As a complement to the growing literature on spectral design of covariance…
A moderately intense $450$ fs laser pulse is used to create rotational wave packets in gas phase $\rm{I_2}$ molecules. The ensuing time-dependent alignment, measured by Coulomb explosion imaging with a delayed probe pulse, exhibits the…
We present a method for a complete characterization of a femtosecond ultraviolet pulse when a fundamental near-infrared beam is also available. Our approach relies on generation of second harmonic from the pre-characterized fundamental,…
Gaussian processes are the leading class of distributions on random functions, but they suffer from well known issues including difficulty scaling and inflexibility with respect to certain shape constraints (such as nonnegativity). Here we…
