Propagation characteristics of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) in linear chains of metallic nanospheres (LCMNs) can be found from a dispersion equation, by assuming that either frequency or wave number of a SPP is real. In this paper, we present a comparative study of SPP modes corresponding to the two types of complex solutions for an infinitely long LCMN embedded in a gain medium. We show that even though gain predominantly affects the SPP dispersion obtained with real frequency, both solutions result in the same dispersion and attenuation of SPP modes, when Ohmic losses are almost compensated by gain. In this regime, an analytic expression for the propagation length of SPPs exists, and the SPPs’ dispersion is determined by a real equation. We also demonstrate that for a given amount of gain (below the amplification limit of ~1000 cm−1), transversely polarized SPPs attenuate slower than longitudinally polarized SPPs and are, therefore, preferable for the purpose of energy transfer in gain-supplied LCMNs. The transmission windows for SPP modes of different polarizations do not overlap each other, which facilitates realization of LCMN-based plasmonic filters. Our results may prove useful in design optimization of all-optical chips for power-efficient optical supercomputers.
We analyze the two different types of complex solutions to the dispersion equation of surface plasmon-polaritons residing in a linear chain of metallic nanoparticles in the presence of gain in the host medium.

Terrain models typically contain huge amount of data so they are very time consuming for visualization purposes. This especially comes to the forefront when urban environments are included. The main compromise in representation of the complex environments is between achieved quality and time consumption. With the simple texture representation of complex environments we will accomplish fast application, and with the large polygonal meshes, high quality of the rendered scene. In this paper we propose rendering of urban and natural environments using parallax and relief mapping. This approach combines benefits of the rendering of polygonal meshes and texture approach. Thereby, in the proposed approach improved quality on the one side and increased speed on the other side is combined. The applicability of the method is demonstrated trough parallax and relief mapping within the Irrilicht open source graphics engine. The shaders programs were made with the GLSL shader language. As the result, the tests were made to determine the possible usage of parallax and relief mapping in the display of natural and urban environments.

The scope of this paper is modelling of the atmosphere over the wildfire and analysis of its influence on the helicopter flight dynamics in defined conditions. To achieve realistic simulation of helicopter flight over the wild land fire it is required to take into account the influence of the fire on the atmosphere conditions. The work presented here is in the framework of the project of helicopter simulator for Mi-171Sh, a modernized variant of the Mi-8/17 helicopter, which is used in the Croatian Air Force for both military and civil applications, especially for its specific use for the firefighting purposes. The influence of fire atmosphere environment on rotor aerodynamics and the whole aircraft flight dynamics can be significant. For the flight training device the results for the spread of the fire are not required, but it is necessary to calculate the aerodynamic forces and moments using density and wind in the atmosphere influenced by wildfire. This aerodynamic calculation is applied with many hypotheses. Presented work is oriented to the determination of the influence of the atmosphere over the wildfire on the helicopter performances under the same hypotheses. Because of this reason we are looking for the atmosphere model under the same hypotheses as for the aerodynamic calculation and only problems relevant to the evaluation of the aerodynamic forces and moments will be taken into account. For the investigation of the specific effects it is required to have reliable mathematical models both of the wildfire and helicopter. Aerodynamic model of the rotor based on the blade element theory is analysed with presented model of atmosphere model over the wildfire. Results of influence of atmosphere over the wildfire on helicopter required power in forward flight and available power are also presented. For these analyses a generic example helicopter similar to Mi-8/17 has been used. Visualization aspects of fire and smoke atmosphere for the helicopter simulator proj

The nonlinear process of stimulated Raman scattering is important for silicon photonics as it enables optical amplification and lasing. However, generally employed numerical approaches provide very little insight into the contribution of different silicon Raman amplifier (SRA) parameters. In this paper, we solve the coupled pump‐signal equations analytically and derive an exact formula for the envelope of a signal pulse when picosecond optical pulses are amplified inside a SRA pumped by a continuous‐wave laser beam. Our solution is valid for an arbitrary pulse shape and fully accounts for the Raman gain‐dispersion effects, including temporal broadening and group‐velocity reduction. Our results are useful for optimizing the performance of SRAs and for engineering controllable signal delays.
