For investigating diatomic and triatomic molecules of astrophysical interest in the vacuum UV using the methods of laser spectroscopy we have set up several systems for generating coherent vacuum UV sources. Since we are interested in tunable and narrow banded (0.1 - 6. 01 cm ) sources it is advantageous to employ the methods of nonlinear optics.Recently, experiments of the third harmonic generation in the Rb-Xe system. have been performed and a quantitative interpretation up to the highest conversion efficiencies of a few percent has been given. On the basis of these experiments we have investigated the optimum conditions for third harmonic generation in isotropic media. It has been possible to solve the third order problem analytically and it can be shown that the intensity conversion efficiency depends in the limit of large input intensities only on the wavelength dependent nonlinear susceptibilities of the nonlinear medium. For a Gaussian beam it can be shown that a Na-Xe system, for example, is capable of providing an energy conversion efficiency of up to 40% for the Nd:glass laser.

The ultrafast third-order optical nonlinearity of c-plane GaN crystal, excited by ultrashort (fs) high-repetition-rate laser pulses at 1550 nm, wavelength important for optical communications, is investigated for the first time by optical third-harmonic generation in non-phase-matching conditions. As the thermo-optic effect that can arise in the sample by cumulative thermal effects induced by high-repetition-rate laser pulses cannot be responsible for the third-harmonic generation, the ultrafast nonlinear optical effect of solely electronic origin is the only one involved in this process. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of GaN crystal responsible for the third-harmonic generation process, an important indicative parameter for the potential use of this material in ultrafast photonic functionalities, is determined.

Abstract One advantage of multi-phase machines is the possibility to use the third harmonic of the rotor flux for additional torque generation. This effect can be maximised for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) with a high third harmonic content in the magnet flux. This paper discusses the effects of third harmonic current injection (THCI) on a five-phase PMSM with a conventional magnet shape depending on saturation. The effects of THCI in five-phase machines are shown in a 2D FEM model in Ansys Maxwell verified by measurement results. The results of the FEM model are analytically analysed using the Park model. It is shown in simulation and measurement that the torque improvement by THCI increases significantly with the saturation level, as the amplitude of the third harmonic flux linkage increases with the saturation level but the phase shift of the rotor flux linkage has to be considered. This paper gives a detailed analysis of saturation mechanisms of PMSM, which can be used for optimizing the efficiency in operating points of high saturations, without using special magnet shapes.

This article proposes an acoustic nonlinear approach combined with the time reversal technique to image cracks in long bones. In this method, the scattered ultrasound generated from the crack is recorded, and the third harmonic nonlinear component of the ultrasonic signal is used to reconstruct an image of the crack by the time reversal process. Numerical simulations are performed to examine the validity of this approach. The fatigue long bone is modeled as a hollow cylinder with a crack of 1, 0.1, and 0.225 mm in axial, radial and circumferential directions respectively. A broadband 500 kHz ultrasonic signal is used as the exciting signal, and the extended three-dimensional Preisach-Mayergoyz model is used to describe the nonclassical nonlinear dynamics of the crack. Time reversal is carried out by using the filtered third harmonic component. The localization capability depends on the radial depth of the crack.
