TL;DR: Explicit asymptotic formulas for the positions, widths, and strengths of the morphology-dependent resonances in Mie scattering were derived in this article, where they were compared with numerical data and found to be highly accurate.
Abstract: Explicit asymptotic formulas are derived for the positions, widths, and strengths of the morphology-dependent resonances in Mie scattering. These formulas are compared with numerical data and found to be highly accurate, especially for the low-order resonances most relevant to nonlinear processes. They permit the interpretation of experimental data on light scattering from microdroplets without resorting to the full apparatus of the Mie scattering formalism.

TL;DR: In this article, the main part of laser investigations concerns with nonlinear optical phenomena, and the knowledge of laws governing the interaction of a powerful light with a medium is necessary for the correct utilization of laser beams.
Abstract: As a result of development of optics during many centuries the concept was formed that a medium can strongly influence on the light propagation, but the light itself cannot have backward influence on the medium. That concept was refuted only with appearing of coherent and high power radiation of lasers, see, e.g., Nobel Lecture by N. Bloembergen in 1981. A new field in physics–nonlinear optics—formed as a result. The main part of laser investigations concerns with nonlinear optical phenomena, nowadays. First of all these phenomena are of extraordinary interest and beauty and provide for new methods of physical investigations. Secondly, the knowledge of laws governing the interaction of a powerful light with a medium is necessary for the correct utilization of laser beams. Finally, a great number of devices of up-to-date laser optics is totally based on utilization of nonlinear optical effects; generation of higher harmonics of light, stimulated scattering of light, optical phase conjugation, self...

TL;DR: Pt-modified Au nanorods synthesized by anisotropic overgrowth were used for producing H2 under visible and near-infrared light irradiation and the Pt-tipped sample exhibited much higher activity compared with fully covered samples.
Abstract: Pt-modified Au nanorods (NRs) synthesized by anisotropic overgrowth were used for producing H2 under visible and near-infrared light irradiation. The Pt-tipped sample exhibited much higher activity compared with fully covered samples. Using single-particle spectroscopies combined with transmission electron microscopy, we observed obvious quenching phenomena for photoluminescence and light scattering from individual Pt-tipped NRs. The analysis of energy relaxation of plasmon-generated hot electrons indicates the electron transfer from the excited Au to Pt.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the bubble wall is collapsing at more than 4 times the ambient speed of sound in the gas just prior to the light emitting moment when the gas has been compressed to a density determined by its van der Waals hard core.
