A compact efficient continuous-wave self-frequency Raman laser with a composite YVO4/Nd:YVO4/YVO4 crystal
We report a low-threshold continuous-wave self-Raman laser with a composite YVO4/Nd:YVO4/YVO4 crystal. The use of the composite crystal can reduce the thermal effects and achieve the low-threshold and high Raman ...

Slow light in a simple metamaterial structure constructed by cut and continuous metal strips
Recently, slow light in metamaterials has been investigated based on the coupling between two quasi-bound states, in classic analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency in atomic systems. Here we demo...

Cooperative order and excitation spectra in the bicomponent spin networks
A ferrimagnetic spin model composed of S = 1/2 spin-dimers and S = 5/2 spin-chains is studied by combining the bond-operator representation (for S = 1/2 spin-dimers) and Holstein-Primakoff transformation (for S ...
