超短脉冲强激光在空气中的传输

超短脉冲强激光在空气中传输时由于非线性克尔自聚焦效应会使激光光束聚焦，造成空气的离化而形成等离子体，等离子体对激光光束又会产生散焦作用，这两种过程的动态平衡可以形成很长的等离子体通道，从而产生一系列复杂而有趣的现象．文章对通道形成的机理、锥角辐射、超连续谱和三次谐波的产生进行了阐述，并介绍了目前等离子体通道形成的几种理论模型．文章还对通道内的各种复合和辐射机制进行了分析．

介质阻挡放电中不同厚度气隙内微放电通道的光谱特性研究

采用发射光谱法,研究了具有三层介质的介质阻挡放电中不同厚度气隙内微放电通道的等离子体参量的变化规律。与在传统的具有双层介质的介质阻挡放电系统中所产生的微放电通道不同,三层介质系统内微放电通道在光谱特性方面展现了完全不同的性质以及变化规律。实验发现,微放电通道在不同的放电气隙中具有不同的发光强度。利用氮分子第二正带系(C3Π_u→B3Π_g)的发射谱线以及对氮分子离子391.4 nm谱线强度与氮分子394.1 nm谱线强度之比的考察,实验进一步测量了氮分子(C3Π_u)的振动温度以及电子平均能量分别随氩气含量以及在不同电压下的变化规律。结果表明,当外加电压一定时,厚气隙内形成的微放电丝在分子振动温度以及电子平均能量上均低于薄气隙微放电丝。并且它们都随着氩气含量的增加而降低。随着电压的逐步升高,厚气隙内的微放电丝在以上两种参量上均基本保持不变,而薄气隙内微放电丝则出现较为明显的升高。这表明具有三层介质的介质阻挡放电中薄气隙较厚气隙对电压更为敏感且在相同电压浮动内电场变化范围更大。     

Radiation Emission of Fast Electrons in Collisions with “Ion‐Sphere” in Dense Plasmas

Radiative emission of fast electrons in collision with an “ion‐sphere” electron distribution in dense plasmas is under consideration. The electron structure of the ion sphere is calculated ab initio using self‐consistent solution of both bound and free electron distribution inside the sphere. Two radiation channels are included: emission of the colliding electron itself in static potential (conventional or static Bremsstrahlung) and the emission of “ion sphere” medium due to its polarization by the colliding electron (polarization Bremsstrahlung). The last one is calculated in the frame of local plasma density approximation. Interference between conventional and polarization Bremsstrahlung is taken into account. It is shown that spectral cross section of the process has characteristic features depending on plasma density and ionization stage of plasma ions. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

介质阻挡放电中单双层气隙内微放电通道的等离子体参量研究

采用H型放电间隙的介质阻挡放电装置,在氩气和空气的混合气体中,得到了三种新颖的等离子体发光斑图。较于传统获得的斑图,这三种发光斑图是产生在单层气隙与双层气隙结合的气隙装置之中。通过相机拍摄到的斑图照片,可以发现单层气隙和双层气隙中微放电通道呈现的发光亮度、颜色、放电面积等状态有所不同,这表明微放电通道所处的等离子体状态可能各不相同。通过分析这三种等离子体发光斑图, 利用发射光谱法首次研究了单层气隙和双层气隙内微放电通道的等离子体参量。实验通过采集氮分子第二正带系(C3Π_u→B3Π_g)的发射谱线计算了单层气隙和双层气隙内微放电丝的分子振动温度,并进一步利用氩原子696.57 nm(2P₂→1S₅)谱线的展宽分析了单层气隙和双层气隙内微放电丝的电子密度。结果发现： 在左右相同厚度的双层气隙中,耦合微放电丝的分子振动温度基本相同,电子密度也趋于一致,单层气隙内微放电丝的分子振动温度要高于双层气隙内微放电丝,电子密度则小于双层气隙内微放电丝。单层气隙和双层气隙中不同微放电通道等离子体状态的差异性使之形成多种折射率的等离子体光子晶体,其周期性排布将具有更加丰富的带隙结构。     

Photoluminescence and terahertz emission from femtosecond laser-induced plasma channels

Luminescence as a mechanism for terahertz emission from femtosecond laser-induced plasmas is studied. By using a fully microscopic theory, Coulomb scattering between electrons and ions is shown to lead to luminescence even for a spatially homogeneous plasma. The spectral features introduced by the rod geometry of laser-induced plasma channels in air are discussed on the basis of a generalized mode-function analysis.     

Observation of hydrogen pellet ablation material flow by tomography

An H\al emission measurement array with 25 detection channels has been built on HL-1M tokamak. Reconstruction maps of H\al emission distribution in plasma cross-section have been obtained by using tomography, with a hydrogen pellet injected into the plasma. The dimension, the shape and the rotation characteristic of the cross-section of the pellet ablation material flow tube have been observed. These results have been analysed and explained tentatively by using the `tail' model and the linear expansion model.

Terahertz emission from collapsing field domains during switching of a gallium arsenide bipolar transistor

Broadband pulsed THz emission with peak power in the sub-mW range has been observed experimentally during avalanche switching in a gallium arsenide bipolar junction transistor at room temperature, while significantly higher total generated power is predicted in simulations. The emission is attributed to very fast oscillations in the conductivity current across the switching channels, which appear as a result of temporal evolution of the field domains generated in highly dense electron-hole plasma. This plasma is formed in turn by powerful impact ionization in multiple field domains of ultrahigh amplitude.     

Perturbations of ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling by powerful VLF emissions from ground-based transmitters

The characteristics of the plasma-wave disturbances stimulated in the near-Earth plasma by powerful VLF radiation from ground-based transmitters are investigated. Radio communication VLF transmitters of about 1 MW in power are shown to produce artificial plasma-wave channels (density ducts) in the near-Earth space that originate in the lower ionosphere above the disturbing emission source and extend through the entire ionosphere and magnetosphere of the Earth along the magnetic field lines. Measurements with the onboard equipment of the DEMETER satellite have revealed that under the action of emission from the NWC transmitter, which is one of the most powerful VLF radio transmitters, the generation of quasi-electrostatic (plasma) waves is observed on most of the satellite trajectory along the disturbed magnetic flux tube. This may probably be indicative of stimulated emission of a magnetospheric maser.     

Spontaneous emission in the optically excited single-electron-tunneling device tuned by the tunneling

The spontaneous emission spectrum in the optically excited single-electron-tunneling device coupled to the side dot is analytically found to be determined by the 12 exciton-complex optical channels with different optical weight functions. The electronic tunneling channels and optical transition channels co-determine the emission, where the competition between the electron-like and hole-like channels leads to the tail effect and the competition between the lower and higher energy resonant optical channels leads to the blueshift（redshift） of the emission signal.
