Creeping sparks - stroboscopic imaging of surface streamers
In order to gain a better understanding of how to prevent sparks creeping along dielectric surfaces the most common cause of failure in high voltage devices we have studied the propagation of the preceding streamers along dielectric surfaces. We applied a voltage pulse to a needle a small distance above a dielectric sample a thin vertically positioned plate in low-pressure air, and imaged the r...
متن کاملHigh-contrast optical modulation by surface acoustic waves
Numerical calculations are employed to study the modulation of light by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in photonic band gap (PBG) structures. The on/off contrast ratio in a PBG switch based on an optical cavity is determined as a function of the SAW-induced dielectric modulation. We show that these structures exhibit high contrast ratios even for moderate acousto-optic coupling. PACS: 42.79.Ta, ...
متن کاملSolitary surface acoustic waves.
Solitary acoustic pulses can propagate along the surface of a coated homogeneous and inhomogeneous medium. It is shown how these nonlinear surface acoustic waves evolve out of initial pulselike conditions generated by pulsed laser excitation and how they can be monitored by optical detection. The solitary pulse shapes at the surface are computed on the basis of an evolution equation with nonloc...
متن کاملSwimming Using Surface Acoustic Waves
Microactuation of free standing objects in fluids is currently dominated by the rotary propeller, giving rise to a range of potential applications in the military, aeronautic and biomedical fields. Previously, surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have been shown to be of increasing interest in the field of microfluidics, where the refraction of a SAW into a drop of fluid creates a convective flow, a p...
متن کاملLocal Study of Thin-Film Adhesion by Surface Acoustic Waves and Subsurface Acoustic Microscopy Imaging
Four thin-film adhesion characterization methods are proposed. Two of them are surface acoustic wave based and the two others emphasize the complementary nature between acoustic microscopy, scratch test and tensile experiments. A continuous wave scanning acoustic microscope was used to propagate surface modes in the specimen and to measure the surface acoustic wave velocity as a function of the...
