We investigate second-harmonic generation in a nonlinear photonic crystal having radial quasi-periodic order and continuous rotational symmetry. This device enables us to simultaneously phase match different nonlinear interactions in any arbitrary direction of propagation. We have fabricated such a crystal by electric field poling of a magnesium-doped stoichiometric LiTaO(3) and demonstrated frequency doubling of two different pump wavelengths at three different angles. Fourier coefficients were 10 times higher than that of a lattice-based multidirectional frequency doubler.

We introduce a class of partially coherent sources, which are capable of producing beams with radially quasi-periodic and azimuthally fully periodic intensity profiles. The physical properties of the source, as well as the propagation of the intensity distribution and the complex degree of spatial coherence of the ensuing beams are investigated and interpreted. It is shown that the shape and symmetry of the intensity and the degree of spatial coherence are generally adjustable and modulated by the parameters related to the beam source.

However, numerical LG mode expansion for arbitrary field is still a problem, since the physical dimension of LG modes would vary with three parameters-the beam waist width w, the radial index p, and the azimuthal index m, which make it difficult to determine the optimal value of w and the truncation order on p. Here a general method of LG mode expansion for an arbitrary field is developed.

Rotating waves (RW) bifurcating from the axisymmetric basic magnetized spherical Couette (MSC) flow are computed by means of Newton-Krylov continuation techniques for periodic orbits. In addition, their stability is analysed in the framework of Floquet theory. The inner sphere rotates while the outer is kept at rest and the fluid is subjected to an axial magnetic field.

Background: Organ-mounted robots adhere to the surface of a mobile organ as a platform for minimally invasive interventions, providing passive compensation of physiological motion. This approach is beneficial during surgery on the beating heart. Accurate localization in such applications requires accounting for the heartbeat and respiratory motion.

In this work, the analysis of cross-frequency couplings (CFC) is introduced in the context of nonlinear acoustics related to the dynamics of bubble(s)-resonator systems. The results obtained from experiments specifically designed to untangle the causal connection between the CFC patterns observed at the signal level and the underlying physical processes, are discussed. It was found that "causal" amplitude-to-amplitude (AAC) and amplitude-to-phase (APC) couplings emerge in the system dynamics as a consequence of the bubble(s)-resonator mechanistic interaction in the oscillatory steady-state.
