Optical high-order subharmonic excitation of free cyclotron electrons.
نویسنده
چکیده
Homogeneous laser radiation in the visible or infrared range can excite high-order subharmonics at the cyclotron frequency of free electrons in the millimeter or microwave range. This may provide coherent links between lasers and rf or microwave frequency standards. In order to divide the frequency of a CO(2) laser (lambda approximately 10 microm) by a factor of 100 down to lambda approximately 1 mm in one step, a cw laser power as low as 10(-6) W is sufficient.

Subharmonic resonant optical excitation of confined acoustic modes in a free-standing semiconductor membrane at GHz frequencies with a high-repetition-rate femtosecond laser.
We propose subharmonic resonant optical excitation with femtosecond lasers as a new method for the characterization of phononic and nanomechanical systems in the gigahertz to terahertz frequency range. This method is applied for the investigation of confined acoustic modes in a free-standing semiconductor membrane. By tuning the repetition rate of a femtosecond laser through a subharmonic of a ...
متن کاملIsolas in the three-photon optical excitation of a single cyclotron electron.
We show that sufficiently strong laser beams with two frequencies differing by a cyclotron frequency of a free electron can give rise to strong cyclotron excitation with prohibited and allowed cyclotron orbits as well as to an optical Stark shift. This is due to a combination of relativistic effects and results in multiple isolated branches of excited motion (isolas). The formation of the first...
متن کاملGeneration and evolution of intense ion cyclotron turbulence by artificial plasma cloud in the magnetosphere
[1] It is shown that intense ion cyclotron turbulence can be induced in the near-Earth space by shaped release of neutral gas of materials such as lithium, cesium, etc. Release of 1 ton of neutral lithium gas in the Earth’s equatorial plane at L = 2 can introduce about 30 GJ of energy which can be used to excite waves around the lithium ion cyclotron harmonics that readily evolves into the turb...

The radioisotope 67Ga (T 1/2 = 78 h) in extensively used as single photon marker for detecting the presence of malignancy and the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases. The high tumor specificity of carrier-free 67Ga make it one of the most interesting radionuclides in nuclear medicine for in vivo scanning studies. 67Ga is a cyclotron produced radioisotopes and is one of the radiopharmaceuti...
