Magnetic field generated in a plasma by a short, circularly polarized laser pulse

We study the generation of a quasistatic magnetic field by a short, circularly polarized laser pulse in a tenuous cold uniform plasma. It is shown that two physical mechanisms are responsible for the generation of the various components of the magnetic field. One mechanism is due to the ponderomotive forces and governs the generation of the azimuthal component of the magnetic field. The other is similar to the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) in a nonuniform plasma and gives rise to axial and radial components of the magnetic field. At moderate radiative intensities, all magnetic field components are proportional to the squared intensity. The spatial structure of the magnetic field depends strongly on the pulse shape and the plasma density. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 114, 849–863 (September 1998)     

Quasistatic magnetic fields generated by a nonrelativistic intense laser pulse in uniform underdense plasma

Quasistatic magnetic fields generated by nonrelativistic intense linearly polarized (LP) and circularly polarized (CP) laser pulses in an initially uniform underdense plasma in the collision-dominated limit are investigated analytically. Using a selfconsistent analytical model, we perform a detailed derivation of quasistatic magnetic fields in the laser pulse envelope in the collision-dominated limit to obtain exact analytical expressions for magnetic fields and discuss the dependence of magnetic fields on laser and plasma parameters. Equations for quasistatic magnetic fields including both axial component B_z and the azimuthal one B_θ are derived simultaneously from such a selfconsistent model. The dependence of quasistatic magnetic field on incident laser intensity, transverse focused radius of laser pulse, electron density and electron temperature is discussed.     

Quasistationary electric field of atmospheric space charge produced by powerful sound pulse

The electric field created by atmospheric ions in vertical acoustic sounding from the earth's surface is examined. It is shown that ions of different types are completely entrained by an acoustic pulse and create a quasistationary electric field in the surrounding space, particularly on the earth's surface. The shape of the electric-field pulse is calculated is calculated and its amplitude is estimated numerically.Scientific-Research Radio-Physics Institute.

Characterization of microwave plasma generated in inhomogeneous magnetic field

The paper is devoted to the investigation of the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) discharge in the decreasing magnetic field in the pressure range from 0.02 Pa to 90 Pa and the absorbed microwave power from 50 W to 400 W. For a discharge characterization we used the floating potentialU _fl and the saturated ion current densityi _sat ⁺ . The influence of the substrate holder presence on the plasma microparameters was studied. It was shown that for the substrate holder located near ECR at pressures below 0.3 Pa mainly the magnitude ofU _fl strongly depends on the pressurep, the absorbed microwave powerP _a, and the position of the substrate holder with respect to ECR. The values ofU _fl in the plasma in which the substrate holder is inserted strongly differ from those in the plasma without the substrate holder.U _fl of low pressuresp<0.05 Pa achieves high positive values of about +50 V and this results in sputtering of chamber walls.     

Resonant third harmonic generation of a short pulse laser in plasma by applying a wiggler magnetic field

We examine the effect of wiggler magnetic field on pulse slippage of short pulse laser-induced third harmonic generation in plasma. The process of third harmonic generation of an intense short pulse laser in plasma is resonantly enhanced by the application of a magnetic wiggler. The laser exerts a ponderomotive force at second harmonic driving density oscillations. The second harmonic oscillations coupled with electron velocity at the laser frequency, produces a non-linear current, driving the third harmonic. Third harmonic pulse generates in the fundamental pulse domain. However, the group velocity of the third harmonic wave is greater than the fundamental wave. Hence, the third harmonic pulse saturates strongly and moves forward from the fundamental pulse at shorter distance than the second harmonic pulse.     

Generation of a magnetic field in a weakly inhomogeneous plasma interacting with a short laser pulse

The generation of a quasistationary magnetic field in a plasma interacting with a weakly focused low-intensity short laser pulse has been studied. It has been shown that the magnetic field changes direction at times comparable with the free path time of effective electrons. Generation also occurs after the switching off of the short pulse and the maximum field is proportional to the duration of the pulse and is reached at times larger than the free path time of the suprathermal electrons.     

Remagnetization of synthetic antiferromagnetic cells by a magnetic field pulse

The theory of the dynamic remagnetization of a synthetic antiferromagnetic system and magnetic points located on a magnetic substrate in an external magnetic field has been considered. The energies of the equilibrium states of the system have been calculated. The conditions of switching between equilibrium states have been described. The conditions of applicability of this theory have been formulated. It has been shown that the process of remagnetization can be implemented in an inertialess regime, escaping the long-term relaxation of the system to a new equilibrium position with the use of a special shape of the field signal. The possibility of the reduction of the switching field amplitude by varying the pulse duration has been demonstrated.     

Photon echoes generated by reversing magnetic field gradients in a rubidium vapor

We propose a photon echo quantum memory scheme using detuned Raman coupling to long-lived ground states. In contrast to previous three-level schemes based on controlled reversible inhomogeneous broadening that use sequences of pi pulses, the scheme does not require accurate control of the coupling dynamics to the ground states. We present a proof-of-principle experimental realization of our proposal using rubidium atoms in a warm vapor cell. The Raman resonance line is broadened using a magnetic field that varies linearly along the direction of light propagation. Inverting the magnetic field gradient rephases the atomic dipoles and re-emits the light pulse in the forward direction.     

Experimental observation of optical rotation generated in vacuum by a magnetic field

We report the experimental observation of a light polarization rotation in vacuum in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Assuming that data distribution is Gaussian, the average measured rotation is (3.9 +/- 0.5) x 10(-12) rad/pass, at 5 T with 44 000 passes through a 1 m long magnet, with lambda = 1064 nm. The relevance of this result in terms of the existence of a light, neutral, spin-zero particle is discussed.     

Hamilton flow generated by field lines near a toroidal magnetic surface

A method is described for obtaining the Hamiltonian of a vacuum magnetic field in a given 3D toroidal magnetic surface (superconducting shell). This method is used to derive the expression for the integrable surface Hamiltonian in the form of the expansion of a rotational transform of field lines on embedded near-boundary magnetic surfaces into a Taylor series in the distance from the boundary. This expansion contains the value of the rotational transform and its shear at the boundary surface. It is shown that these quantities are related to the components of the first and second quadratic forms of the boundary surface.
