Control of the collapse distance in atmospheric propagation.

چکیده
We show experimentally for ultrashort laser pulses propagating in air, that the collapse/filamentation distance of intense laser pulses in the atmosphere can be extended and controlled with a simple double-lens setup. We derive a simple formula for the filamentation distance, and confirm its agreement with the experimental results. We also observe that delaying the onset of filamentation increases the filament length.

Control of the filamentation distance and pattern in long-range atmospheric propagation.
We use the double-lens setup [10, 11] to achieve a 20-fold delay of the filamentation distance of non-chirped 120 fs pulses propagating in air, from 16m to 330m. At 330m, the collapsing pulse is sufficiently powerful to create plasma filaments. We also show that the scatter of the filaments at 330m can be significantly reduced by tilting the second lens. To the best of our knowledge, this is th...
متن کاملTypical Ka band Satellite Beacon Receiver Design for Propagation Experimentation
This paper presents the design and simulation of a typical Ka band satellite beacon receiver for propagation experimentation. Using satellite beacon signal as a reference signal in satellite wave propagation study, is one of the most important methods. Satellite beacons are frequently available for pointing large antennas, but such signals can be used for measuring the effect of natural phenome...

متن کاملEvaluation of Geometric and Atmospheric Doppler for GNSS-RO Payloads
To reduce the sampling rate in global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-radio occultation receivers, it is essential to establish a suitable estimation of Doppler frequency from the received signal in the satellite onboard receiver. This receiver is usually located on low earth orbit satellite and receives GNSS satellites signal in the occultation situation. The occurred Doppler on the signal ...
متن کاملComparison between Alternative Load Path Method and a Direct Applying Blast Loading Method in Assessment of the Progressive Collapse
Extensive research has been focused on the progressive collapse analysis of buildings and most of them are based on the alternative path method (APM) with sudden removal of one or several columns. However, in this method the damage of adjacent elements of removed columns under blast conditions was ignored and this issue can lead to an incorrect prediction of progressive collapse. Therefore, in ...
