An Attempt to Make Non-Elementary Functions That Are Giving Solutions to Some Second-Order Nonlinear Autonomous ODEs

In this paper, we define an exponential function whose exponent is the product of a real number and the upper limit of integration in a non-elementary integral that can be arbitrary. We are using Abel’s methods, described by Armitage and Eberlein. The key is to start with a non-elementary integral function, differentiating and inverting, and then define a set of functions. Differentiating these functions twice give second-order nonlinear ODEs that have the defined set of functions as solutions.

Study of second-order nonlinear hyperpolarisability of all-trans-β-carotene in solutions by linear spectroscopic technique

This paper demonstrates the second-order nonlinear hyperpolarisability γ of all-trans-β-carotene in different solvents by linear spectroscopic technique that is based on resonance Raman scattering and UV-VIS （Ultraviolet-visible） absorption spectroscopy. Owing to the two-level model well describing the link that exists between the resonance Raman scattering and stimulated Raman scattering, the stimulated Raman polarisability αR can be calculated through the two-photon resonance system. The value of γ of all-trans-β-carotene in carbon bisulfide solution is 6.435×10^-33 esu （1 esu of resistance = 8.98755×10^11Ω） that is close to the true value, because the solution of all-trans-β-carotene in carbon bisulfide satisfies the rigid resonance Raman scattering condition. This method is expected to be worthy of applications to measure the second-order nonlinear hyperpolaxisability of a conjugate organic molecule.

Unconventional photon blockade in a three-mode system with double second-order nonlinear coupling

The unconventional photon blockade(UPB)for low-frequency mode is investigated in a three-mode system with double second-order nonlinearity.By analyzing the Hamiltonian of the system,the optimal analytic condition of UPB in low-frequency mode is obtained.The numerical results are calculated by solving the master equation in a truncated Fock space,which agrees well with the analytic conditions.Through the numerical analysis of the system,it is found that the weak driving strength is favorable for the system to realize the UPB effect,and the system is insensitive to the changes of attenuation rate and environmental temperature.The comparison with the two-mode system and another similar threemode system shows that,under similar system parameters,the UPB effect of this double two-order nonlinear system is more obvious.

Six New Sets of the Non-Elementary Jef-Family-Functions that Are Giving Solutions to Some Second-Order Nonlinear Autonomous ODEs

In this paper, we define some new sets of non-elementary functions in a group of solutions x(t) that are sine and cosine to the upper limit of integration in a non-elementary integral that can be arbitrary. We are using Abel’s methods, described by Armitage and Eberlein. The key is to start with a non-elementary integral function, differentiating and inverting, and then define a set of three functions that belong together. Differentiating these functions twice gives second-order nonlinear ODEs that have the defined set of functions as solutions. We will study some of the second-order nonlinear ODEs, especially those that exhibit limit cycles. Using the methods described in this paper, it is possible to define many other sets of non-elementary functions that are giving solutions to some second-order nonlinear autonomous ODEs.

Consensus of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems via sliding mode observer and controller

This paper investigates the consensus problem of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) via the sliding mode control (SMC) approach. The velocity of each agent is assumed to be unmeasurable. A second-order sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the velocity. Then a distributed discontinuous control law based on first-order SMC is presented to solve the consensus problem. Moreover, to overcome the chatting problem, two controllers based on the boundary layer method and the super-twisting algorithm respectively are presented. It is shown that the MASs will achieve consensus under some given conditions. Some examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control laws.

Fluorine-Mediated Benzothiadiazole Derivatives for Second-Order Nonlinear Optics

With increasing research interests in the field of light-matter interactions,various methods have been developed for regulating nonlinear optical(NLO)materials.However,the design and synthesis of organic molecular materials for second-order nonlinear optics remain a great challenge because of the strict requirement of the materials to possess a noncentrosymmetric structure.In this work,two benzothiadiazole(BTD)derivatives referred to as BTD-H and BTD-F were synthesized,and their NLO properties in the crystalline states were studied.It was found that introducing fluorine into the BTD backbone effectively tuned the crystal packing styles of BTD derivatives to a noncentrosymmetric system for effective second-order NLO responses.Such a strategy to induce the noncentrosymmetric structure by introducing the fluorine atoms and halogen interactions may provide guidance for future engineering of organic NLO molecular materials.

Theoretical Investigation on the Second-order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Chiral Amino Acid Zinc(Ⅱ) Porphyrins

Static second-order nonlinear optical effects of amino acid zinc(II) porphyrins 1, 2, 3 and 4 were calculated by the TDHF/PM3 method based on the molecular structures optimized at the semiempirical PM3 quantum chemistry level, showing due to the cancellation of symmetric center, these amino acid zinc(II) porphyrins exhibit second order nonlinear optical response. The analysis of β components indicated that these amino acid zinc(II) porphyrins are of multipola- rizabilities, and they may be ascribed as the “mixture” of octupolar and dipoar molecules with ||βJ=3||/||βJ=1|| ≈ 5. It is found that there are no significant differences between the static β values of non-chiral and chiral amino acid zinc(II) porphyrins. However, the βxyz component, which is quite important to quadratic macroscopic χ (2) susceptibility of chiral material, is increased significantly with the increase of side chain group of amino acids.

A new organic-inorganic hybrid noncentrosymmetric potassium bis(malic acid)-borates KB(L-(-)-C4H4O5)2·H2O was synthesized by solution method. It was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, TGA and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 5.546(6), b = 11.985(13), c = 9.952(11) ?, β = 97.522(17)°, V = 655.8(13) ?3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.682 g/cm3, μ(MoKa) = 0.46 mm–1 and F(000) = 340. 5009 reflections were measured and 2893 independent reflections(Rint = 0.051) were used for further refinement. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the complex exhibits a threedimensional pseudo tunnel structure consisting of fundamental building block [B(L-(-)-C4H4O5)2]– anions. The small cavities are occupied by the H2O molecules, which stabilize the whole structure by O–H×××O hydrogen bonds. The complex exhibits nonlinear optical effect as high as 1.5 times that of KDP standard.

Theoretical Calculations on the Second-order Nonlinear Optical Property of Chiral Bis-corroles

The second-order nonlinear optical （NLO） properties of 5,10,15-triphenylcorrole （TPC）, 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin （TPP） and L-amino acid bridged bis-corroles 1,2,3 and 4 have been calculated by using TDHF/PM3 method based on the RHF/6-31G （TPC and TPP） or semiempirical PM3 （1, 2, 3, 4） optimized geometries. Calculation results showed TPC and TPP have C1 and D2h symmetry, respectively when N-H protons are localized on the nitrogen atoms. TPC is the second-order NLO active chromophore due to the cancellation of centrosymmetrical structure and its first hyperpolarizability β increases to 11.524×10^-30 esu. Under electrical dipole approximation, βvalues of bis-corroles 1, 2, 3 and 4 vary from 9.831×10^-30 to 14.221×10^-30 esu, and no much improvement in the first hyperpolarizability was observed as compared to TPC monomer.However, β values of bis-corroles 1, 2, 3 and 4 are improved by about 4 times as compared to their bis-porphyrin counterparts. The analysis of β components indicates that β of this kind of bis-corroles is mainly contributed from its radial component βr. With the variation of amino acid side chains, βHRS, β,βxyz, βr and βa of bis-corroles change remarkably. Chiral L-amino acid bridged bis-corroles 2, 3 and 4 have a right-handed helix structure, and their chiral component βxyz matches βxyz ∝ r^2 ζ/L^4 （helix parameters）, showing the second-order chiral NLO response of these bis-corroles could be described by one-electron helical model theory. It was found that the radial component βr of chiral helix bis-corroles also matches βr ∝ r^2 ζ/L^4.

X-ray structure analysis revealed that the molecule is acentric and has large first=order hyperpolarizability （7.2 × 10^-30 esu）, so it could be an IR second=order nonlinear optical candidate material.
