We study the effects of a truncated band structure on the linear and nonlinear optical response of crystals using four methods. These are constructed by (i) choosing either length or velocity gauge for the perturbation and (ii) computing…

The influence of measurement back action on electro-optic sampling of electromagnetic quantum fluctuations is investigated. Based on a cascaded treatment of the nonlinear interaction between a near-infrared coherent probe and the…

In this paper, we present a framework for assessing the effect of non-stationary Gaussian noise and radio frequency interference (RFI) on the signal to noise ratio, the number of false positives detected per true positive and the…

Beam neutrino oscillation experiments typically employ only one detector at a certain baseline, apart from the near detector that measures the unoscillated neutrino flux at the source. Lately, there have been discussions of having detectors…

The effect of an AC perturbation on the shot noise of a fractional quantum Hall fluid is studied both in the weak and the strong backscattering regimes. It is known that the zero-frequency current is linear in the bias voltage, while the…

Diffraction gratings are famous for their ability to exhibit, near a Wood anomaly, an arbitrarily large angular dispersion, e.g., with respect to the incidence angle or wavelength. For a diffraction grating under incidence by a plane wave…

This paper investigates the impact of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and multipath signals on frequency-locked loops (FLLs), which are commonly used to obtain Doppler shift measurements for velocity estimation in radio navigation. A salient…

We consider propagation of light pulses detuned from the atomic resonance in a dense two-level medium and photonic structures with it. The large density of the medium is important to decrease spatial scale of such nonlinear effects as pulse…

We show that inverse Compton scattering of cosmic-microwave-background and starlight photons by cosmic-ray electrons in the interstellar and intergalactic space explains well the spectrum and intensity of the diffuse gamma-ray background…

When the vacuum state of a scalar or electromagnetic field is modified by the presence of a reflecting boundary, an interacting test particle undergoes velocity fluctuations. Such effect is regarded as a sort of quantum analog of the…

Neutralino dark matter can be indirectly detected by observing the gamma ray lines from the annihilation processes XX-->gg and XX-->gZ. In this paper we study the implications that the observation of these two lines could have for the…

Image subtraction in astronomy is a tool for transient object discovery and characterization, particularly useful in wide fields, and is well suited for moving or photometrically varying objects such as asteroids, extra-solar planets and…

The polarization of gamma rays produced in strong-field quantum electrodynamics (SFQED) is a fundamental and long-standing prediction, the verification of which has remained elusive, limiting both foundational tests and applications. Here,…

This work explores the potential of an information-theoretical causality detection method for unraveling the relation between fluctuating variables in complex nonlinear systems. The method is tested on some simple though nonlinear models,…

Laser frequency noise is a dominant noise background for the detection of gravitational waves using long-baseline optical interferometry. Amelioration of this noise requires near simultaneous strain measurements on more than one…

Traditionally, neutron-$\gamma$ discrimination in organic scintillators relies on techniques such as time-of-flight (ToF) selection and pulse-shape discrimination (PSD). However, particle identification through graphical cuts remains…

This paper investigates the impact of a lack of knowledge of the instrumental noise on the characterisation of stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). We focus on constraints on modelled…

Gravitational wave data from ground-based detectors is dominated by instrument noise. Signals will be comparatively weak, and our understanding of the noise will influence detection confidence and signal characterization. Mis-modeled noise…

Gravitational waves (GWs) exhibit wave-optics effects when their wavelength is comparable to the scale of the gravitational lens. This may occur in lensing from galactic subhalos in GWs emitted by binary black-hole mergers, and is gaining…

The channel-to-channel migration of radio interferometric baselines for the same antenna separation causes a flat spectrum source that should have remained in the zeroth delay (line-of-sight) mode to become centered around a higher mode -…
