Spatial scaling of optical fluctuations during substorm-time aurora
A study of statistical features of auroras during substorm activity is presented, emphasizing characteristics which are commonly applied to turbulent flows. Data from all-sky television (TV) observations from the Barentsburg observatory (Svalbard) have been used. Features of the probability density function (PDF) of auroral fluctuations have been examined at different spatial scales. We find th...
متن کاملOptical Emissions from Proton Aurora
Hydrogen emissions are the signature of proton aurora. The Doppler-shifted hydrogen emission lines can be interpreted in terms of the mean energy of the precipitating protons. A red shifted component of the line profiles observed from the ground indicates upward going hydrogen atoms due to angular redistribution of the precipitation. Secondary electrons from ionization and stripping collisions ...
متن کاملOptical tomography of the aurora and EISCAT
Tomographic reconstruction of the threedimensional auroral arc emission is used to obtain vertical and horizontal distributions of the optical auroral emission. Under the given experimental conditions with a very limited angular range and a small number of observers, algebraic reconstruction methods generally yield better results than transform techniques. Dierent algebraic reconstruction meth...
متن کاملObservation of an optical
We report the observation of an optical Wannier-Stark ladder in a linearly chirped Moir e grating, written in the core of an optical ber. The use of pho-tons avoids the strong excitonic interactions encountered in more traditional experiments using charge carriers in semiconductors.
متن کاملObservation of optical azimuthons.
We observe experimentally optical azimuthons, a generic class of ring-shaped localised spiralling beams with azimuthal modulation, carrying phase dislocation in self-focusing nonlinear media. We observe three- and four-lobe azimuthons in 87Rb vapours and demonstrate their anomalous rotation controlled by the input phase distribution.
