Electrostatic Waves in the Warm Magnetoplasma at the Cyclotron Harmonic Frequencies

Mode conversion and collisionless absorption of electromagnetic wave at the cyclotron harmonic frequencies in an inhomogeneous non-Maxwellian magnetoplasma have been studied. Under suitable energy transfer condition the converted electrostatic wave (plasma wave) either grows or damps. The expressions for the growth/damping rates of this wave have been derived and studied at the cyclotron harmonic frequencies. The effect of the temperature anisotropy on the growth/damping rate of the electrostatic wave at the second cyclotron harmonic frequency has been shown. Growth of such electrostatic waves at ionospheric heights may explain the observed upper hybrid resonance (UHR) echoes and noise bands at the second cyclotron harmonic frequency.     

Revision of estimates of acoustic energy reflectance at the human eardrum

An improved analysis procedure has been applied to standing wave patterns measured previously [B. W. Lawton and M. R. Stinson, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 79, 1003-1009 (1986)] in human ear canals. Revised acoustic energy reflection coefficients, at the eardrum, are obtained for 20 ears for frequencies between 3 and 13 kHz. The new analysis addresses anomalous features of the standing wave patterns, apparent at frequencies above 8 kHz, due primarily to the curvature of the ear canal. Much better agreement is now found, at these higher frequencies, between the theoretical form assumed for the standing wave patterns and the experimental data. The revised values of eardrum reflectance are somewhat smaller, especially for frequencies above 11 kHz. The reflectance rises from about 0.25 at 4 kHz up to 0.7 at 8 kHz, falls to a minimum of 0.5 at 11 kHz, then rises to 0.6 at 13 kHz. Considerable intersubject variability in the results is noted.     

Phonon-polariton and band structure of electro-magneto-acoustic SH wave propagation oblique to the periodic layered piezoelectric structures

Electro-magneto-acoustic SH waves propagating oblique to the periodic layered piezoelectric structures are studied under the coupling of the acoustic wave and the electromagnetic wave. Band structures of the so-called piezoelectric superlattice and phononic/photonic crystal are given both at acoustic frequencies and at optical frequencies. For the periodic layered piezoelectric structures, phonon-polaritons (the coupling modes of the phonons and photons) are found not only happening near the center of the Brillouin zone (in the long-wavelength limit) at acoustic frequencies, but also being able to appear in the whole Brillouin zone at optical frequencies. Appearing of these phonon-polaritons may provide a way to design a new type of acousto-optic devices.     

Observation of the modulation instability and spin wave solitons in ferromagnetic films under the conditions of coexistence of four-wave and three-wave parametric processes

Nonlinear phenomena that arise during the propagation of spin waves in thin ferromagnetic films under conditions of the simultaneous existence of three-wave and four-wave parametric processes have been investigated. Investigations have been performed for single-frequency and double-frequency regimes of excitation of intense spin waves. The spontaneous modulation instability of the monochromatic running spin wave has been revealed for the first time at frequencies at which three-wave decay processes are allowed. The pronounced generation of a periodic sequence of bright spin wave solitons has been observed under excitation of two monochromatic spin waves at the same frequencies.     

A Design of Flattop-beam Shaper at Millimeter Wavelengths

Beam shaping technique for generating flattop beam has long been used in optics, and there are many methods to design flattop-beam shapers in optics. Flattop beam is also important in some applications at millimeter wavelengths such as in the quasi-optical power divider, however, there are few design method for the flattop-beam shaper used at millimeter wave frequencies and the design method of optics are not suitable to the beam shaper at millimeter wave frequencies, so a design method for the flattop-beam shaper at millimeter wave frequencies is presented in this paper. Several flattop-beam shapers in the form of diffractive element have been designed and simulation results are presented.     

Cross-frequency correlation of intensity fluctuations for a deeply modulated phase screen

We consider the intensity fluctuation patterns produced beyond a deeply modulated phase changing screen when two plane waves, each with a different frequency, are incident on the same screen. The spatial frequency spectrum corresponding to the cross-correlation between these two different intensity fluctuation patterns is derived. This spectrum has two distinct regions, one of low spatial frequencies which is independent of the incident wave frequencies, and another at high spatial frequencies which is wave frequency dependent. As the difference between the incident wave frequencies increases the upper cut-off spatial frequency of the spectrum decreases. The corresponding cross-scintillation index is also considered and it is shown that this is independent of the incident wave frequencies close to the phase screen and including the focal region where there is a peak in the index. In the far field the scintillation index approaches unity as the distance from the screen increases in the monochromatic case. However, for different incident wave frequencies the far-field scintillation index falls off both with distance from screen and with increasing wave frequency difference.     

Resonance interaction of an edge-dislocation wall with a traveling sound wave

The dynamics of an infinite edge-dislocation wall and fragments of this wall in their interaction with a monochromatic sound wave with a nonzero wave vector has been investigated taking into account the mass of dislocations. It has been shown that the drift velocities of the wall fragments significantly increase when the sound wave frequency approaches the natural frequencies of small-amplitude vibrations, including zero frequency. For the infinite wall, a similar increase in the drift velocity is observed for low frequencies and for frequencies close to half the maximum frequency of small-amplitude vibrations of the edge-dislocation wall. The resonance increase in the drift velocity at low frequencies of the sound wave can be important for practical applications.     

Quantum modulation of an electron beam in the field of opposite electromagnetic waves

The quantum modulation of an electron beam in the field of opposite electromagnetic waves, at a frequency equal to the difference of the wave frequencies, and its harmonics, is obtained. The depth of the modulation becomes of order one at relatively small intensities of the laser fields (including a real spreading of the beam). In the case of equal frequencies of the waves (when the Kapitza-Dirac effect occurs particles form a beam. An experiment for obtaining a modulated beam of particles at the frequencies of the laser radiation, and its harmonics, as well as for bunching of particles in the field of a standing wave is suggested.     

A unique method for reducing losses of bends in dielectric optical wave guide

The dielectric optical wave guide is finding growing attention at millimeter wave frequencies. However the dielectric optical waveguide radiates at bends and thus transmission loss increases. These radiations are in the outword direction of bends. This output radiation at output bends arises due to change in phase velocities of the propagating wave at the centre of the dielectric guide and the phase velocity at the outer surface of the dielectric guide. A unique methiod is suggested to avoid these radiation losses.Experimental results are also shown at microwave frequencies.     

On the origin of the inverted-barometer effect at subinertial frequencies

Summary An analytical model, simulating the frictionless response of the sea contained in a rotating, rectangular channel of arbitrary width to air pressure waves travelling at varying directions, is developed. Since planetary atmospheric waves are of primary interest as forcing agents, a solution is found for subinertial frequencies. For an atmospheric wave travelling along a channel whose width is close to the Rossby deformation radius, the model predicts sea levels and currents organized in two coastal waves and a geostrophic current system prevailing in mid-basin. The right-hand coastal wave is more pronounced than the left-hand wave. The structure is coupled to the atmospheric wave, and is resonantly driven when the phase velocity of the forcing wave approaches the Kelvin wave velocity. Along the coasts a quasi-static adjustment occurs under off-resonant conditions. When the atmospheric wave is moving across the channel at a sharp angle, the response of the sea is enhanced for the apparent along-channel velocities below those of free shallow-water waves, due to reflections at channel boundaries. For the atmospheric wave that travels at right angle across the channel, the resonance is not possible, and the sea level undershoots a simple inverted-barometer response. Both travelling and standing waves appear in the channel. In the narrow-channel limit only a standing wave remains, with a nodal line in the middle of the channel. In the central part of the channel the currents are almost geostrophic at very low frequencies. The model is used to interpret some aspects of the response of the Mediterranean Sea to planetary-scale atmospheric forcing. In particular, it is shown that resonant transfer of energy from the atmosphere to the sea is most unlikely, since planetary atmospheric waves are rather slow and they travel along the main axis of the Mediterranean basin.
