Enhancement of an Instability by Internal Feedbacks in a Plasma

The electron-ion instability is excited in counterstreaming ion beams and plasma system. The instability is a new type of standing oscillations whose wavelength is given by D/n, where D is the distance between boundaries and n is an integer. The amplitude is controlled by a difference between the velocities of the beams, which changes the phase of a feedback loop. The internal feedback is caused by a reflected wave and by a coupling between the boundaries. Temporal evolution of the instability is measured and is found to agree with numerical solutions of the Van der Pol equation including a feedback term. A measured growth rate is proportional to the square of the oscillation amplitude.

Optimization of an Externally Modulated RF Photonic Link

The noise figure and sub-octave spurious-free dynamic range of a carrier-suppressed analog RF photonic link are examined. Expressions for noise figure and dynamic range are derived as a function of the modulator bias angle. A closed form expression for the bias angle that optimizes link noise figure and spurious-free dynamic range is also derived. Experimental results are presented and shown to agree with calculations. These experimental results include some of the lowest noise figure and highest dynamic range results published to date for an RF photonic link incorporating a standard Mach-Zehnder modulator: 6 dB and 122 dB·Hz^2/3, respectively.     

Optimization of an Externally Modulated RF Photonic Link

Abstract

The noise figure and sub-octave spurious-free dynamic range of a carrier-suppressed analog RF photonic link are examined. Expressions for noise figure and dynamic range are derived as a function of the modulator bias angle. A closed form expression for the bias angle that optimizes link noise figure and spurious-free dynamic range is also derived. Experimental results are presented and shown to agree with calculations. These experimental results include some of the lowest noise figure and highest dynamic range results published to date for an RF photonic link incorporating a standard Mach-Zehnder modulator: 6 dB and 122 dB·Hz^2/3, respectively.     

Enhancement and Suppression of Four-Wave Mixing in a Four-Level Atomic System

We report observations of the enhancement and suppression of four-wave mixing （FWM） in an electromagnetically induced transparency window in a Y-type ^85 Rb atomic system. The results show the evolution of the dressed effects （from pure enhancement to partial enhancement/suppression, and finally into pure suppression） in the degenerate-FWM processes. Moreover, we use the perturbation chain method to describe the FWM process. Finally, we observe the polarization dependence of the enhancement and suppression of the FWM signal.     

Suppression of recoil heating by an optical lattice

We report suppression of atomic heating by light scattering due to tight binding in a 3D far-off-resonant optical lattice. We show that rescattered spontaneously emitted photons do not heat trapped atoms when the scattering rate is much less than the trap vibrational frequency.     

Relaxation Oscillation Enhancement and Coherence Collapse in Semiconductor Lasers with Optical Feedback

The dynamic characteristics of a semiconductor laser with optical feedback are strongly dependent on the injection current and the reflectivity and position of the external feedback reflector. We investigated the relaxation oscillation enhancement and coherence collapse state of the laser oscillation based on the laser rate equations. It is well known that laser output power jumps with increase of the injection current due to external mode transition. But here for the first we time demonstrate the existence of a chaotic scenario within successive laser power jumps. The results calculated by numerical simulations based on the rate equations are compared with those of the experiments and good coincidence between them is found.

Chaotic Time-Delay Signature Suppression and Entropy Growth Enhancement Using Frequency-Band Extractor

By frequency-band extracting, we experimentally and theoretically investigate time-delay signature (TDS) suppression and entropy growth enhancement of a chaotic optical-feedback semiconductor laser under different injection currents and feedback strengths. The TDS and entropy growth are quantified by the peak value of autocorrelation function and the difference of permutation entropy at the feedback delay time. At the optimal extracting bandwidth, the measured TDS is suppressed up to 96% compared to the original chaos, and the entropy growth is higher than the noise-dominated threshold, indicating that the dynamical process is noisy. The effects of extracting bandwidth and radio frequencies on the TDS and entropy growth are also clarified experimentally and theoretically. The experimental results are in good agreements with the theoretical results. The skewness of the laser intensity distribution is effectively improved to 0.001 with the optimal extracting bandwidth. This technique provides a promising tool to extract randomness and prepare desired entropy sources for chaotic secure communication and random number generation.     

Emission Intensity Enhancement of DC Arc Plasma Induced by External Oscillating Magnetic Field

Direct current (dc) arc plasma with continuous aerosol supply was coupled with an external oscillatingmagnetic field of a few tens of mT and a frequency of up to 1 kHz. Such configuration was used to alter the plasma‐related radiative properties. The magnetic field was oriented perpendicularly to the electric field in the plasma and forced the arc column to oscillate as a whole with respect to the surrounding atmosphere. The magnitude of the appliedmagnetic.eld controls the amplitude of the oscillatory motion. Several parameters that can contribute to the radiative properties of the plasma were investigated (arc current, composition of aerosol introduced into the plasma, amplitude and frequency of the magnetic field applied). Spectral emission from different zones of the plasma column was measured by optical emission spectroscopy (OES). In comparison to steady‐state plasma, the applied magnetic field induces an intensity enhancement of emission of the most analytes considered. The intensity enhancement is strongly affected by the amplitude and frequency of plasma column oscillations, i.e. by plasma column velocity. Also, intensity enhancement depends on the plasma zone observed. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Radiation Characteristics of Ion Acoustic Solitons Launched from an Antenna

The radiation of ion acoustic solitons launched from a 10-cm × 10-cm metal plate into a large plasma (volume ~0.9 m3) is examined experimentally. It is found that the concept of "near-field" and "far-field" effects for linear waves is also relevant for these nonlinear waves.     

Instability Parameters of Optical Oscillation Frequency in Plasma Central Discharge and Periphery Region

We have observed relaxation oscillations in a capacitive discharge in Ar gas, connected to a peripheral ground chamber. The plasma oscillations observed from time-varying optical emission from the main discharge chamber show, for example, a high frequency （75.37kHz） relaxation oscillation, at lOOmTorr and 8 W absorbed power, and a low frequency （2.72Hz） relaxation oscillation, lOO mTorr and 325 W absorbed power. Time-varying optical emission intensity and plasma density are also detected with a Langmuir probe. The theoretical result agrees well with experiments.     

Enhancement of an Ullmann coupling reaction induced by ultrasound

Ultrasonic irradiation during the Ullmann coupling reaction of 2-iodonitrobenzene in the presence of a 4-fold excess of copper powder leads to a 50-fold increase in reactivity. Although sonication has been shown to reduce the particle size of the copper this factor alone is not sufficient to explain the large rate enhancement observed. Ultrasonic irradiation may well be serving to sweep reacted species away from the metal surface exposing a fresh surface on which reaction can take place.     

Plasma heating by an ultrashort light pulse

Nonstationary absorption of the energy of a short electromagnetic-radiation pulse in a superdense semibounded plasma is considered. An approach is proposed for finding the electron distribution function, wherein the region of the skin layer (in the anomalous skin-effect regime) is described as a boundary condition for the distribution function over the entire plasma volume. A self-similar electron-distribution function is obtained and is used to analyze the dynamics of the electromagnetic-field absorption, of the heat transfer, and of the bremsstrahlung of the heated plasma.Quantum Radiophysics Division, Lebedev Physics Institute.

Enhancement of the knowledge on the ultrasonic reactor behaviour by an interdisciplinary approach

Our work is a step to a better understanding of high frequency ultrasonic reactors behaviour. Using finite elements calculations, it was demonstrated that localization of chemical and physical effects can be well correlated with mechanical behaviour of ultrasound emitter. This complementary approach enables us to propose a full interpretation of the sonochemical reactor behaviour. A major reason of scientific interest on ultrasound is the well-known enhancement of chemical or physical phenomena. This is so important that "Enhancement" is probably the most used word in the title of related publications. To fully understand experimental results, present work demonstrates that ultrasound needs also to significantly enhance a very difficult knowledge transfer operation that might be named interdisciplinary co-working. Hence, ultrasound is now used and studied in many different fields of science such as acoustic, chemistry, medical imaging, disease treatment (lithotripsy), non-destructive testing. Each one has his own vocabulary, approach, and method to describe the phenomenon. In this work four different methodologies were involved to study of the same effect but using a chemical, chemical engineering, physical and mechanical approach respectively. All these viewpoints were then brought together in order to explain new original results.
