Observation of Parametric Instability in Advanced LIGO.
Parametric instabilities have long been studied as a potentially limiting effect in high-power interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Until now, however, these instabilities have never been observed in a kilometer-scale interferometer. In this Letter, we describe the first observation of parametric instability in a gravitational wave detector, and the means by which it has been removed a...
متن کاملSaturation of the Farley-Buneman instability via three-mode coupling
[1] Characteristics of type-1 radar echoes obtained from the E region ionosphere have yet to be conclusively explained. The dynamical properties of the saturated state of the FarleyBuneman instability are widely thought responsible for these type-1 echoes. In this paper we present a different perspective and new details on a previously proposed three-wave coupling mechanism (Otani and Oppenheim...
متن کاملObservation of Geometric Parametric Instability Induced by the Periodic Spatial Self-Imaging of Multimode Waves.
Spatiotemporal mode coupling in highly multimode physical systems permits new routes for exploring complex instabilities and forming coherent wave structures. We present here the first experimental demonstration of multiple geometric parametric instability sidebands, generated in the frequency domain through resonant space-time coupling, owing to the natural periodic spatial self-imaging of a m...
متن کاملObservation of an Alfvén Wave Parametric Instability in a Laboratory Plasma.
A shear Alfvén wave parametric instability is observed for the first time in the laboratory. When a single finite ω/Ω_{i} kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) is launched in the Large Plasma Device above a threshold amplitude, three daughter modes are produced. These daughter modes have frequencies and parallel wave numbers that are consistent with copropagating KAW sidebands and a low frequency nonresona...
متن کاملNear-inertial parametric subharmonic instability
New analytic estimates of the rate at which parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) transfers energy to high-vertical-wavenumber near-inertial oscillations are presented. These results are obtained by a heuristic argument which provides insight into the physical mechanism of PSI, and also by a systematic application of the method of multiple time scales to the Boussinesq equations linearized a...
