Abstract. Photan-photon and photon-phonon anticorrelation effects in Raman scattering are studied theoretically. The Heisenberg equations of motion describing Raman scattering are solved in the short-time approximation. The laser, Stokes, anti-Stokes and phonon modes are quantised. The joint normally ordered characteristic functions are evaluated for modes exhibiting anticorrelation effects. The problem of existence of a Glauber-Sudarshan quasi-distribution function related to anticorrelation effects is considered. The magnitude of the anticorrelation effects depends on the initial statistical properties of the photon and phonon modes.
We show that coupled Kerr and Duffing oscillators with small nonlinearities and strong external pumping can generate chaotic and hyperchaotic beats. The appearance of chaos within beats depends strongly on the type of interactions between the nonlinear oscillators. To indicate chaotic behavior of the system we make use of the Lyapunov exponents. The structure of chaotic beats can be qualitatively different — the envelope function can be smooth if the system is undamped or can give the impression of noise structure in the presence of strong damping and nonlinear interactions between the individual oscillators. The systems considered can be used, in practice, as generators of chaotic beats with chaotically modulated envelopes and frequencies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
