Investigation results for electromagnetic radiation emission induced by strong Langmuir turbulence driven by a microsecond relativistic electron beam are presented. The radiation is associated with a plasmonplasmon merging process, which generates photons at a double plasma frequency in the range of few hundredsGHz. An original radiometric system for radiation spectrum and power measurements is described.
Experimental studies of the concept of an efficient radiation trap based on the adiabatic photon confinement between curved mirrors is presented in the paper. Such a trap is free from restrictions typical to the Fabry-Perot cells, relating to the confined radiation quality, accuracy and stabilization of optical elements. Experiments have demonstrated the high efficiency of confinement, which mainly depends on the reflectivity of mirrors and their surface defects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
