Ionisation of Rydberg hydrogen atom near a metal surface by short pulse laser

In the ionisation of Rydberg hydrogen atoms near a metal surface,the electron will escape from the nucleus and arrive at the detector in a time sequence.This probability flux train relies on the initial electron wave packet irradiated by the laser pulse.For simplicity,the laser pulse is usually simplified to a delta function in energy domain,resulting in a sharp initial arrival time with an exponentially decaying tail at the detector.Actually and semiclassically,the initial outgoing wave should be modeled as an ensemble of trajectories propagating away from the atomic core in all directions with a range of launch times and a range of energies.In this case,each pulse in the pulse train is averaged out rather than a sharp profile.We examine how energy and time averaging of the electron wave packet affects the resolution of escaping electron pulses and study the energy dependence of the arrival time for each pulse in the ionisation train.An optimization condition for the laser pulse shape to generate narrow ionisation electron pulse in the train is obtained.The ionisation rates with various excitation energy are calculated also,which show the excitation to higher N Rydberg states will narrow the electron pulse as well.

水中脉冲放电产生过氧化氢及其影响因素

采用介质涂覆的球-筒电极结构,用以脉冲电压条件下在水中产生放电,通过比色法检测放电产生的过氧化氢,研究了不同电压脉冲幅值、脉冲宽度(储能电容的大小)、水的电导率以及脉冲频率对过氧化氢产生速率的影响,实验结果表明过氧化氢的产率随电压脉冲幅值的增大而增大。当电压脉冲幅值足够高时,水中放电由流注放电形式转换为电弧放电形式,此时过氧化氢产率也大幅提高,而在相同电压条件下,随水的电导率的增大,过氧化氢的产率减小。在相同电压下,脉冲频率的增大,导致放电平均功率增大,水中放电产生过氧化氢的浓度提高。在3.3 W功率时,120 min后水中过氧化氢浓度达到0.2 mmol/L,从而证明了所用电极结构的优越性。     

Short pulse,x-ray preionization of a high pressure XeCl gas discharge laser

Measurements have been performed to investigate the influence of the X-ray pulse timing on laser output and discharge quality.     

Stepped form of negative corona current pulses in hydrogen

Current wave forms of initial stages of discharge formation in a short negative point-to-plane gap have been measured with a nanosecond time resolution in hydrogen at pressures (12.5–76) kPa and for various overvoltages and cathode point radii. The measurements revealed the existence of a stepped form of negative corona current pulses in hydrogen. To test existing models for negative corona pulse formation, effects of changing cathode secondary electron emission were studied using copper and brass cathodes coated by CuI and graphite. It is concluded that a negative corona pulse is associated with the ignition of a cathode-directed streamer in the vicinity of the cathode. We report what we believe are the first experimental observations of non-Trichel oscillations of negative corona current with a frequency of (1–10) MHz.

Laser-driven acceleration of electrons in a partially ionized plasma channel

The generation of quasimonoenergetic electron beams, with energies up to 200 MeV, by a laser-plasma accelerator driven in a hydrogen-filled capillary discharge waveguide is investigated. Injection and acceleration of electrons is found to depend sensitively on the delay between the onset of the discharge current and the arrival of the laser pulse. A comparison of spectroscopic and interferometric measurements suggests that injection is assisted by laser ionization of atoms or ions within the channel.     

Chaos-induced pulse trains in the ionization of hydrogen

We predict that a hydrogen atom in parallel electric and magnetic fields, excited by a short laser pulse to an energy above the classical saddle, ionizes via a train of electron pulses. These pulses are a consequence of classical chaos induced by the magnetic field. We connect the structure of this pulse train (e.g., pulse size and spacing) to fractal structure in the classical dynamics. This structure displays a weak self-similarity, which we call "epistrophic self-similarity." We demonstrate how this self-similarity is reflected in the pulse train.     

开放空间等离子体对微波传输影响的模拟研究

以氮气为背景气体,采用脉冲式微波产生等离子体,使用另外一束连续波作为传输模拟对象,并基于扩散效应的全域模型分析等离子体电子温度与电子密度的演化过程。实验中放电气压为300Pa,实验结果表明:在微波脉冲开始之后极短的时间内,连续波接受信号发生剧烈衰减;而在微波脉冲结束后,连续波接受信号则缓慢恢复。微波传输主要受到等离子体电子密度的影响,而全域模型的计算结果显示等离子体电子密度在开始放电时迅速上升,甚至高于放电微波频率对应的临界密度,在放电微波脉冲结束时电子密度则缓慢下降。这说明开放空间中等离子体在失去能量维持之后,由于扩散效应占主导作用,电子密度不会迅速下降,此时连续波依然会被阻碍,直到电子密度下降到连续波频率对应的临界密度以下。     

Characterization of the single nanosecond pulsed surface dielectric barrier plasma actuator: Geometric and electric effects

The influence of the electrode length and the voltage pulses on the discharge characteristics of the surface dielectric barrier discharge actuators were investigated numerically by using the plasma kinetic model. The governing equations including the coupled continuity plasma discharge equation, drift-diffusion equation, electron energy equation, Poisson's equation, and Navier–Stokes equation were solved in quiescent air at atmospheric pressure. The results show that the shorter pulse rising time results in higher discharge characteristics, more intense discharge, and bigger discharge region. Differently, the compared discharge characteristics for the electrodes with different lengths prove that the length of the powered and ground electrodes has little effect on the surface dielectric barrier discharge driven by nanosecond pulsed voltage.     

Implosion of the superpinch

It is shown that a programmed fast rising current, making an excursion in excess of the Pease-Braginskii current, can isentropically compress a thermonuclear plasma to very high densities. Such a dynamic superpinch can satisfy the Lawson criterion for theD T thermonuclear reaction. The pinch current has to be driven by a large fast rising multimegavolt pulse power source. It is anticipated that electric pulse power sources employing both the magnetic insulation and double disc principles can satisfy the needed requirements in high voltages large currents and short discharge times.

开展了J量级系统储能下电脉冲参数对水中火花放电特性影响研究。驱动源采用参数可调的固态重频纳秒脉冲电源,放电负载为水中针-板结构(间距1 mm),在低重频条件(约5 Hz)下进行实验。通过调节放电参数、拍摄高速阴影图像、光谱诊断以及声信号测量,研究水中脉冲放电的物理特性,得到不同放电参数下放电演化规律及其对声学、光谱特性影响。实验发现:在J量级储能下,放电通道连通两极后,回路电流在几百ns内快速上升至10 A左右,随后缓慢下降,持续50~60μs。发现预设脉宽对放电影响较大,短脉宽条件下放电会被电源固态开关强制截断出现反向放电,而长脉宽条件下放电通道在后期变得不稳定甚至熄弧中断,出现气泡中二次放电现象。辐射光谱揭示了更多等离子体信息,推断通道电子密度在1018 cm-3量级,随着脉宽增加,特征谱线强度增加,表明活性粒子数密度增加,但粒子种类不变。短脉冲(<150μs)作用下产生的脉冲声波的特征宽度在110~150μs,而当脉宽继续增大,声波脉宽并不继续增加而是保持不变,保持在150μs左右。研究结果对水中小能量火花放电的机理研究有一定参考价值,为水声学、液相等离子体等领域的应用提供思路。     

Theoretical study of Ni-like Ag 13.9nm TCE x-ray laser driven by two picosecond pulses

The Ni-like Ag 13.9nm x-ray laser has been previously demonstrated that the higher gain near critical surface contributes little to the amplification of the x-ray laser because of severe refraction. In this paper, the transient collision excitation (TCE) Ni-like Ag 13.9nm x-ray laser is simulated, driven by two 3ps short pulse preceded by a 330ps long prepulse, optimization of the peak to peak delay time of the two short pulses is made to get the best results. Simulation indicates that by producing lowly ionized preplasma with smoothly varying electron density, it is possible to decrease electron density gradient in higher density region, and thus higher gains near this region could be utilized, and if the main short pulse is delayed by 900ps, local gains where electron density larger than ～ 4×10²⁰cm^-3 could be utilized.     

Modeling the plasma kinetics mechanisms of CuBr laser with neon–hydrogen additives

A mathematical model describing the discharge kinetics and lasing characteristics of copper bromide vapor laser with neon and hydrogen additives has been developed. The suggested model is based on a “zero-dimensional” model and offers simple mechanisms to explain discharge kinetics mechanisms, different physical processes and hydrogen additive effects on the copper bromide vapor laser.The model estimates the temporal evolution of discharge voltage and current, population densities, laser beam density, electron temperature and radial distribution of pressure and buffer gas temperature. The suggested mechanism assumes that the electron detachment from negative hydrogen ions does not contribute to the copper ionization process.Numerical solutions of a nonlinear rate equation system predict the generation of nanosecond pulses. The calculated maximum values of discharge voltage, current, average output laser power, electron temperature, etc. are in good agreement with other reported calculated and experimental data.     

Preionization kinetics of an X-ray preionized XeCl gas discharge laser

The influence of preionization conditions on the performance of a XeCl gas discharge laser preionized by a short, high intensity x-ray pulse, has been studied. The laser output energy and optical pulse temporal characteristics have been used to determine the roles of initial electron density and of electron attachment to HCl and to impurities. Although the short pulse preionization technique functions well for XeCl when the laser voltage pulse has a short risetime (?20 ns), it is less well suited to XeCl lasers using slowly rising voltage pulses (>50 ns), or to F₂ containing gas mixtures (KrF and XeF lasers).
