Photon Acceleration from Rest to the Speed of Light
نویسنده
چکیده
A new mechanism for generating coherent radiation from a laser-ionized gas-filled capacitor array is presented. This scheme directly converts a static electric field of wave number k0 into coherent radiation pulses. The physical mechanism is analogous to photon acceleration in plasma waves, and in this sense, photons are accelerated from zero frequency (zero energy) to a frequency ωp2/2k0c. The photon frequency is tuned by gas pressure and/or capacitor spacing. In this paper we briefly describe the theory of this scheme and then present the preliminary experimental setup and results.

QED second order corrections on the speed of light at low temperature
We want to study thermal corrections on the speed of light at low temperature considering temperature dependence of photon vacuum polarization tensor at two-loop level in the standard QED. It is found that the heat bath behaves as a dispersive medium for the propagation of light and reduces its speed proportional to the second order of temperature. Similarities and differences, in light ...
متن کاملStanding Handball Throwing Velocity Estimation with a Single Wrist-Mounted Inertial Sensor
Background. It is well known that overarm throwing is one of the most performed activities in the handball. Shoulder and glenohumeral injuries incidence are high in handball because of both pass, and shooting activity was executed repeatedly in high angular speed. Objectives. This study set out to investigate the usefulness of inexpensive commercial inertial movement sensors for prediction of ...
متن کاملSpiral length design
On the circular curve, lateral acceleration affects comfort. On the spiral, both lateral acceleration and jerk affect comfort. The determination of maximum curving speed on the basis of lateral acceleration only is not critical because the lateral acceleration is proportional to the square of speed whereas jerk is proportional to cubic power of speed. The maximum speed on a curve is thus signi...
متن کاملLight intensity effects on some molecular and biochemical characteristics of Dunaliella salina. Leila Zarandi-Miandoab1,3, Mohammad-Amin Hejazi2*, Mohammad-Bager Bagherieh-Najjar1, Nader Chaparzadeh3
To gain a better understanding of molecular and biochemical events involved in light intensity adaptations of Dunaliella salina, we studied the expression of phytoen synthase (psy) gene; pigments, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids accumulation under two light intensities. The cells were pre-cultured under 50 µmol photon m-2s-1 light intensity and then transferred to two different light intensi...
متن کاملThe Equivalence Principle and Roundtrip Times for Light
If an observer, at rest (in flat spacetime) between a pair of mirrors each at distance D but in opposite directions, emits two pulses of light simultaneously they return to the observer simultaneously after time 2D/c, where c is the speed of light. Discuss the case that the observer and mirrors have uniform acceleration (with respect to the inertial lab frame) along their common line. Compare w...
