In this work, we study the scattering problem of the general nonlinear finitely many Dirac delta potentials with complex coupling constants (or opacities in the context of optics) using the Green's function method and then find the bound…
Linear and nonlinear optical effect has been widely discussed in large quantity of materials using theoretical or experimental methods. Except linear optical conductivity, higher-order nonlinear responses are not studied fully. Starting…
Three-body nuclear reactions in two-nucleon plus core systems are described in the framework of exact scattering equations including the core excitation. A nucleon-core optical potential is constructed that can be easily adjusted to the…
This paper concerns the theory of direct A(d,p)B reactions and how practical 3-body models of them are related to optical model potentials describing the interaction of the deuteron's constituents and the target A. A new definition of the…
The recoil optical force that acts on emitters near a surface or waveguide relies on near-field directionality and conservation of momentum. It features desirable properties uncommon in optical forces, such as the ability to produce it via…
Standard optical potentials use off-resonant laser standing wave induced AC-Stark shift. In a recent development [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 117}, 233001 (2016)] a three-level scheme in $\Lambda$ configuration coupled coherently by resonant…
A microscopic optical potential based on a chiral model is used as a starting point for studying kaonic atoms levels. We add to this potential a phenomenological part fitted to the experimentally known shifts and widths of kaonic levels.…
Matter manipulation with optical forces has become commonplace in a wide range of research fields and is epitomized by the optical trap. Calculations of optical forces on small illuminated particles typically neglect multiple scattering on…

Like many other physical quantities, the optical force can be expanded using multipole expansion, which has been done in [Nat. Photon. 5, 531], up to electric octupole order. However, in that study, the existence of radiation multipoles…
The non-linear relation between electric polarization and electric field strength is achieved through introducing the retarded electromagnetic interactions between classical charge particles. The result agrees with the phenomenological…
We develop a sensitivity function for the design of electron optics using an adjoint approach based on a form of reciprocity implicit in Hamilton's equations of motion. The sensitivity function, which is computed with a small number of…
The single-particle nuclear potential is intrinsically nonlocal. In this paper, we consider nonlocalities which arise from the many-body and fermionic nature of the nucleus. We investigate the effects of nonlocality in the nuclear potential…
Entangled photons, generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion from a second-order nonlinear crystal, present a rich potential for imaging and image-processing applications. Since this source is an example of a three-wave mixing…
This introduction to Green's functions is based on their role as kernels of differential equations. The procedures to construct solutions to a differential equation with an external source or with an inhomogeneity term are put together to…
I review the application of self-consistent Green's functions methods to study the properties of infinite nuclear systems. Improvements over the last decade, including the consistent treatment of three-nucleon forces and the development of…
We formulate a microscopic optical potential from chiral two- and three-body forces. The real and imaginary central terms of the optical potential are obtained from the nucleon self-energy in infinite matter, while the real spin-orbit term…
Earlier work showed how a nucleon optical model wave function could be defined as a projection of a many-nucleon scattering state within a translationally invariant second quantised many-body theory. In this paper an optical potential…
