Experimental study of a quasi-optical cavity with slotted output mirror

This paper describes an experimental study of a quasi-optical cavity to be used in qyrotrons. The cavity configuration was designed so that its output wave could pass into a quasi-optical transmission line. The test cavity was coaxially composed of a pair of annular mirrors, one of which was a curved conical mirror and the other was a plane mirror having a radial slot array for wave output. A mode excited in the cavity at 56.4 GHz was observed by detecting the radiation wave that leaked out through the slotted mirror. It was shown that the present slotted mirror served as a partially and uniformly transparent mirror to radiate the output wave with the same mode as in the cavity.     

Parametric scattering of high-frequency elastic waves by a small spherical cavity oscillating under the action of a Rayleigh wave

Scattering of high-frequency transverse and longitudinal plane waves incident on a spherical cavity located at a small depth under the surface of a half-space is considered. The cavity oscillates as a whole in the field of a low-frequency Rayleigh surface wave, the oscillation vectors of the longitudinal, transverse, and surface waves being coplanar. The cavity radius is assumed to be small compared to the wavelengths of the sounding wave and the pumping surface wave. The scattered compression and shear waves at the combination frequencies ω±Ω are calculated in the dipole approximation. Expressions obtained describe the qualitative behavior of the combination-frequency signal levels produced at the outputs of horizontally and vertically oriented geophones moving over the free surface of the elastic half-space.     

Theoretical Study of Millimeter Wave Harmonic Oscillator Stabilized with a Transmission Cavity

An equivalent circuit model of millimeter wave second harmonic oscillator stabilized with a transmission cavity has been proposed for constructing analytical formulations between performance parameters of the oscillator and parameters of the circuit. The model consists of an equivalent circuit of fundamental wave and that of second harmonic wave. Each of the circuits comprises circuit models of main cavity, transmission waveguide, and transmission cavity. Absorbing material placed between the transmission waveguide and the transmission cavity can suppress additional resonances originated from transmission cavity. The behavior of the second harmonic oscillator can be effectively described by the circuit model. Furthermore, based on this model, mechanical tuning characteristics have been studied at first, and then analytical formulas for quality factor and efficiency depending on circuit parameters have been derived. The circuit parameters can be conveniently extracted by electromagnetic field simulation. Hence the formulas exhibit both compact form and enough accuracy. Thereafter, general rules of performance parameters varying with circuit parameters have been deduced for the harmonic oscillators. Then some design considerations have been derived according to the corresponding analysis. The equivalent circuit model is useful for designing and adjusting millimeter wave second harmonic stabilizing oscillator with a transmission cavity.     

Combustion driven oscillations

Combustion driven oscillations can occur when a turbulent flame is enclosed in a tube or cavity. Interaction between heat fluctuations and the internal standing wave field at one of the natural frequencies of the air column produces strong organ pipe tones. The sound power emitted by this thermal-acoustic interaction depends on the impedance either side of the combustion zone and on a transfer function defining the response of the flame to sound wave disturbances. If this power exceeds the rate at which energy is dissipated at the cavity boundaries then there is a growth of the internal pressure field and an increase in the radiated sound. Plane wave theory is used to calculate the flame transfer function and adjacent impedances for a simple gas fired tube assembly. The predicted instability frequencies are then compared with experimental data. The results indicate that the flame transfer function plays a dominant role in determining the acoustic stability of the cavity and that insufficient data is available for accurately predicting unsteady flame front behaviour.     

Acoustic properties of a dielectric with cavities in a polarizing electric field

The effect of an external polarizing electric field on the shear wave propagation in a centrosymmetric crystal with electrostriction, whose body is penetrated with parallel cylindrical cavities (pores), is considered. The cavities are distributed throughout the crystal at random and with a low density. The waves are assumed to be polarized along the cavity generatrices, and the wave propagation occurs in the elastic isotropy plane, which is orthogonal to the cavity axes. The external field is assumed to be axial. Possibility of controlling the propagation of shear waves by the polarizing field is demonstrated for the case of metallized cavity surfaces.

Simulation study on cavity growth in ductile metal materials under dynamic loading

Cavity growth in ductile metal materials under dynamic loading is investigated via the material point method. Two typical cavity effects in the region subjected to rarefaction wave are identified: (i) part of material particles flow away from the cavity in comparison to the initial loading velocity, (ii) local regions show weaker negative or even positive pressures. Neighboring cavities interact via coalescence of isobaric contours. The growth of cavity under tension shows staged behaviors. After the initial slow stage, the volume and the dimensions in both the tensile and transverse directions show linear growth rate with time until the global tensile wave arrives at the upper free surface. It is interesting that the growth rate in the transverse direction is faster than that in the tensile direction. The volume growth rate linearly increases with the initial tensile velocity. After the global tensile wave passed the cavity, both the maximum particle velocity in the tensile direction and the maximum particle velocity in the opposite direction increase logarithmically with the initial tensile speed. The shock wave reflected back from the cavity and compression wave from the free surface induce the initial behavior of interfacial instabilities such as the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability, which is mainly responsible for the irregularity in the morphology of deformed cavity. The local temperatures and distribution of hot spots are determined by the plastic work. Compared with the dynamical process, the heat conduction is much slower.     

Time reversal of electromagnetic waves

We report the first experimental demonstration of time-reversal focusing with electromagnetic waves. An antenna transmits a 1-micros electromagnetic pulse at a central frequency of 2.45 GHz in a high-Q cavity. Another antenna records the strongly reverberated signal. The time-reversed wave is built and transmitted back by the same antenna acting now as a time-reversal mirror. The wave is found to converge to its initial source and is compressed in time. The quality of focusing is determined by the frequency bandwidth and the spectral correlations of the field within the cavity.

Preliminary design and multipacting simulation of a SRF quarter wave electron gun at Peking University

Peking University is designing a new SRF gun that is composed of a quarter wave resonator (QWR) and an elliptical cavity. Compared to the elliptical cavity, the QWR is sufficiently compact at the same frequency and its electric field is quasi-DC. The RF parameters are determined by optimization of QWR cavity structure and the possible multipacting locations are analyzed by 2D MP simulation. The simulation results show that multipacting is not a critical issue for our optimized cavity structure.

Resonant reflectors for free electron masers

A new type of a waveguide reflector is discussed. Its operating principle is based on the effect of resonant reflection of a wave from a cavity when there is coupling between the wave and an eigenmode of the cavity. The resonant reflectors are very attractive for the use in microwave systems of free electron masers due to their high reflection coefficients and narrow frequency bands at comparatively short lengths. Results of calculations and measurements of some resonant reflectors and a microwave system for KA-band cyclotron autoresonance masers are presented.A part of results of this paper was presented at 9th International Conference on High-Power Beams, Washington, 1992 [1].     

The organized shear layer due to oscillations of a turbulent jet through an axisymmetric cavity

The organized wave in the shear layer of a self-oscillatory jet in a cavity is shown to evolve non-linearly from the separation lip of the cavity, rapidly spreading in the transverse direction, and experiencing minimal amplification over the length of the cavity. Depending upon the ratio of acoustic to hydrodynamic contributions to the organized wave, severe distortion of shear layer amplitude distributions and of contours of constant phase can result. The approximate equivalence between the self-generated wave and that induced by external excitation of the corresponding non-impinging shear layer is demonstrated by comparing amplitude and phase distributions.

High-power continuous wave green beam generation by use of simple linear cavity with side-pumped module

High-power continuous wave green radiation has been generated by means of type-II phase-matched frequency doubling in a KTP crystal located in a simple linear cavity incorporating a diode side-pumped Nd:YAG laser module. The cavity was designed to make the fundamental beam radius at the KTP crystal smaller than that at the gain medium, as is required for obtaining large mode volume in Nd:YAG crystal and realizing efficient CW intracavity frequency doubling. Output power of 51.2 W is obtained in the experiment with a diode-to-green optical conversion efficiency of 10.3%. The M²-parameters of the laser are measured at different output powers. For the output power of about 47 W, the power fluctuation is measured less than 1%. The experimental results show that the continuous wave green laser system using this simple linear cavity offers good laser performance and output stability.     

Prediction and experimental measurement of the electromagnetic thrust generated by a microwave thruster system

A microwave thruster system that can convert microwave power directly to thrust without a gas propellant is developed. In the system, a cylindrical tapered resonance cavity and a magnetron microwave source are used respectively as the thruster cavity and the energy source to generate the electromagnetic wave. The wave is radiated into and then reflected from the cavity to form a pure standing wave with non-uniform electromagnetic pressure distribution. Consequently, a net electromagnetic thrust exerted on the axis of the thruster cavity appears, which is demonstrated through theoretical calculation based on the electromagnetic theory. The net electromagnetic thrust is also experimentally measured in the range from 70 mN to 720 mN when the microwave output power is from 80 W to 2500 W.     

Source transformation device formed by one-dimensional photonic crystal

Photonic bandgap structures can also be utilized for the realization of transformational optical devices like metamaterials. In this Letter, the possibility of cylindrical to plane wave source transformation in an open cavity formed by one dimensional photonic crystal is demonstrated. It is observed that the gap solitary wave behavior at the near-bandgap regime is fair enough to produce highly directional plane waves out of the point source placed inside the open cavity. The limitations of such a source transformation device are governed by the strength of the bandgap that decides the amplitude of the emitted plane waves.     

Noncascading THz-wave parametric oscillator synchronously pumped by mode-locked picosecond Ti:sapphire laser in doubly-resonant external cavity

A noncascading terahertz (THz) wave parametric oscillator synchronously pumped by a mode-locked picosecond Ti:sapphire laser whose average power was less than 1 W was demonstrated with a noncollinear phase-matching MgO:LiNbO₃ crystal in an external enhancement cavity doubly resonant for both pump (780 nm) and signal (781-784 nm) waves. In the external cavity, in which the pump wave enhanced so as to reduce the pumping threshold of parametric processes, the signal wave could also resonate and thus be enhanced simultaneously, resulting in a THz wave output at approximately 0.9 THz as the idler wave. The novel dual enhancement of pump and signal waves reduced the threshold pumping intensity to approximately 50 MW/cm², which was much lower than that of a conventional externally pumped THz wave parametric oscillator with a crystal.
