Influence of GeSi interfacial layer on Ge–Ge optical phonon mode in SiO2 films embedded with Ge nanocrystals
The Ge–Ge optical phonon peak at 300  cm−1 acquired from amorphous SiO2 films embedded with Ge nanocrystals by Raman scattering is sensitive to the Si content. When the Si concen...

Nondegenerate two-wave coupling process and group velocity change in the paraxial part of an intensity-modulated and focused transverse electromagnetic beam (TEM00 beam in the article) was observed in the rhodamine 6G(R6G)-doped polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) but not in the pure PMMA. The typical superluminal result was −5.1 m/s and the subluminal result was 9.19 m/s, respectively. Furthermore, the results provide a support to our former conclusion that nondegenerate two-wave couplinglike mechanism could be used to change the group velocity of the paraxial part of a focused TEM00 beam in materials with nondegenerate two-wave coupling process. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
