Slepian eigenvalues as tunnelling rates (2022)
Journal Article
Creagh, S. C., & Gradoni, G. (2023). Slepian eigenvalues as tunnelling rates. Annals of Physics, 449, Article 169204. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aop.2022.169204

We calculate the eigenvalues of an integral operator associated with Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions (or Slepian functions) by interpreting them as tunnelling probabilities in an analogous quantum problem. Doing so allows us to extend a well-known... Read More about Slepian eigenvalues as tunnelling rates.

Tunnelling around bends—Wave scattering in curved shell structures (2020)
Journal Article
Mohammed, N. M., Creagh, S. C., & Tanner, G. (2021). Tunnelling around bends—Wave scattering in curved shell structures. Wave Motion, 101, Article 102697. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wavemoti.2020.102697

A ray dynamics describing wave transport on curved and smooth thin shells can be obtained from the underlying wave equations via the Eikonal approximation. We analyse mid-frequency effects near the ring frequency for curved plates consisting of a cyl... Read More about Tunnelling around bends—Wave scattering in curved shell structures.

Nearfield acoustical holography – a Wigner function approach (2020)
Journal Article
Ramapriya, D. M., Gradoni, G., Creagh, S. C., Tanner, G., Moers, E., & Lopéz Arteaga, I. (2020). Nearfield acoustical holography – a Wigner function approach. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 486, Article 115593. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2020.115593

We propose to use Wigner transformation methods as a tool for propagating measured acoustic signals from and towards a source region. We demonstrate the usefulness of the approach both for source reconstruction purposes and as a stable numerical simu... Read More about Nearfield acoustical holography – a Wigner function approach.

Modeling propagation in large deformed step-index fibers using a finite operator method (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Optical Society of America. A finite operator model is applied to the propagation of light in deformed step-index fibers. The distribution of the light captured by the fiber from an arbitrary initial excitation is illustrated in the phase spac...

Elastodynamics on graphs: wave propagation on networks of plates (2018)
Journal Article
Brewer, C., Creagh, S. C., & Tanner, G. (2018). Elastodynamics on graphs: wave propagation on networks of plates. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 51(44), Article 445101. https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8121/aae1d2

We consider the wave dynamics on networks of plates coupled along 1D joints. This set-up can be mapped onto an extension of wave graph systems studied in, for example, quantum graph theory. In the elastic case, different mode-types (flexural, longitu... Read More about Elastodynamics on graphs: wave propagation on networks of plates.

Propagating wave correlations in complex systems (2016)
Journal Article

We describe a novel approach for computing wave correlation functions inside finite spatial domains driven by complex and statistical sources. By exploiting semiclassical approximations, we provide explicit algorithms to calculate the local mean of t... Read More about Propagating wave correlations in complex systems.

Localized single frequency lasing states in a finite parity-time symmetric resonator chain (2016)
Journal Article

In this paper a practical case of a finite periodic Parity Time chain made of resonant dielectric cylinders is considered. The paper analyzes a more general case where PT symmetry is achieved by modulating both the real and imaginary part of the mate...

Parity-time symmetric coupled microresonators with a dispersive gain/loss (2015)
Journal Article

The paper reports on the coupling of Parity-Time (PT)-symmetric whispering gallery resonators with realistic material and gain/loss models. Response of the PT system is analyzed for the case of low and high material and gain dispersion, and also for...

We propose a reformulation of the boundary integral equations for the Helmholtz equation in a domain in terms of incoming and outgoing boundary waves. We obtain transfer operator descriptions which are exact and thus incorporate features such as diff... Read More about In–out decomposition of boundary integral equations.
