Optical surface waves supported and controlled by thermal waves.
We address the formation of optical surface waves at the very edge of semiconductor materials illuminated by modulated light beams that generate thermal waves rapidly fading in the bulk material. We find families of thresholdless surface waves existing owing to the combined action of thermally-induced refractive index modulations and instantaneous Kerr-type nonlinearity.
متن کاملStudies of Laser-driven Radiative Blast Waves
We have performed two sets of experiments looking at laser-driven radiating blast waves. In the first set of experiments the effect of a drive laser’s passage through a background gas on the hydrodynamical evolution of blast waves was examined. The laser’s passage heated a channel in the gas, creating a region where a portion of the blast wave front had an increased velocity, leading to the for...
متن کاملFull-trajectory diagnosis of laser-driven radiative blast waves in search of thermal plasma instabilities.
Experimental investigations into the dynamics of cylindrical, laser-driven, high-Mach-number shocks are used to study the thermal cooling instability predicted to occur in astrophysical radiative blast waves. A streaked Schlieren technique measures the full blast-wave trajectory on a single-shot basis, which is key for observing shock velocity oscillations. Electron density profiles and deceler...
متن کاملInvestigation of ultrafast laser-driven radiative blast waves.
We have examined the evolution of cylindrically symmetric blast waves produced by the deposition of femtosecond laser pulses in gas jets. In high- Z gases radiative effects become important. We observe the production of an ionization precursor ahead of the shock front and deceleration parameters below the adiabatic value of 1/2 (for a cylinder), an effect expected when the blast wave loses ener...
متن کاملA scaffold cell seeding method driven by surface acoustic waves.
Surface acoustic waves (SAW) have been employed to drive a particle suspension into a porous scaffold as a means for cell seeding. Straight, simple interdigital electrode structures were fabricated on lithium niobate to permit the generation of Rayleigh SAW radiation. Fluorescent microscopy was used to investigate the seeding process; the SAW-driven seeding process occurred in approximately 10s...
