International EMC standards describe the measurement environment (setup, equipment, frequencies) and applicable limits for the electromagnetic emission testing of lighting equipment, including compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). These standards consider the compact fluorescent lamp a ‘black box’. In order to better understand the emissions from this type of light source, the operation of the equi...

Abstract—The probabilities of the emission of a photon by an electron and e+e–-pair photoproduction in a field which is a superposition of two electromagnetic plane waves with different frequencies and propagating in the same direction are obtained. The case where the frequencies of the two modes are commensurate is studied in detail. This case is interesting primarily because of the existence ...

Finding electromagnetic (EM) counterparts of future gravitational wave (GW) sources would bring rich scientific benefits. A promising possibility, in the case of the coalescence of a super-massive black hole binary (SMBHB), is that prompt emission from merger-induced disturbances in a supersonic circumbinary disk may be detectable. We follow the post–merger evolution of a thin, zero-viscosity c...

Shear horizontal (SH) ultrasound guided waves are being used in an increasing number of non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. One advantage SH waves have over some wave types, is their ability to propagate around curved surfaces with little energy loss; to understand the geometries around which they could propagate, the wave reflection must be quantified. A 0.83mm thick aluminium sheet wa...

It is revisited the Michelson-Morley experiment within the quantum mechanics framework. One can define the wave function of photon in the whole space at a given moment of time. The phase difference between the source and receiver is a distance between the source and receiver at the time of reception hence it does not depend on the velocity of the frame. Then one can explain the null result of t...

[1] Lightning return-stroke models are needed for specifying the source in studying the production of transient optical emission (elves) in the lower ionosphere, the energetic radiation from lightning, and characterization of the Earth’s electromagnetic environment, as well as studying lightning interaction with various objects and systems. Reviewed here are models based on Maxwell’s equations ...

Exact solution is obtained for electromagnetic field around a conducting cylinder of infinite length and finite radius, with a periodical axial current, when the wave length is much larger than the radius of the cylinder. The solution describes simultaneously the fields in the near zone close to the cylinder, and transition to the wave zone. Proper long-wave oscillations of such cylinder are st...
