Rezumat

The goal of the present work is the study and use of the cooperative effects of bacteria located in the evanescent field of biomaterials during Raman interaction of the light in UV region. A model is proposed based upon existing experiments, which takes into account the local symmetry of biomolecules. In this paper is presented the quantum correlations which can be obtained in the processes of Raman scattering in two photon lasing. An interesting behavior of Stokes and anti-Stokes generated field in the Raman processes can be observed for the small number of pump field in nonlinear media. The photons statistic is proposed for the diagnosis of the new collective processes. The set of functions was presented, which describes the probability of simultaneous existence of (2j + 1) Dicke states in the scattering process. Metamaterials with periodical structures like quartz or glass small granules irradiated by ultraviolet-C (UV-C) to act against microbial contamination of translucent liquids and gases are studied. Investigations of the modifications of individual metamaterial elements when UV evanescent waves are dispersed in the optical contact zone, as a function of granule geometry, were performed. Different situations were investigated, when quartz (SiO2), glass, or black (plastic) materials with dimensions of about 0.5–3 mm are separately placed into a quartz tube of about 2.7 cm diameter and 90 cm length, named “core tube”. Quartz granules transmit within the (240–400 nm) region of the Hg lamp and ensure an effective decontamination of translucent liquids and gases. Our approach is based upon the increased transfer of UV radiation via evanescent waves in case of unordered metamaterials present in contaminated fluids. We made a series of estimations of the decontamination rate of this type of metamaterials vs. ordered metamaterials consisting of spherical elements. Experiments have convincingly demonstrated that both quartz and glass metamaterials can effectively annihilate Coliform (including Escherichia coli) or Enterococcus bacteria. Control experiments were performed in the absence of metamaterials and/or UV-C irradiation.
