The ninth wave

The Sixty - Ninth

IT is a privilege to have been asked to give the sixty-ninth Mary Scott Newbold Lecture. The list of my predecessors is indeed distinguished. The topic, cardiac failure, was chosen because my colleagues and I have been concerned with this problem for almost a quarter of a century. In this lecture I propose to outline my present concepts based on the evolution of thinking which has resulted from...

Femtosecond optical responses of disordered clusters, composites, and rough surfaces: "the ninth wave" effect.

We predict that in the course of femtosecond excitation of random clusters, composites, or rough surfaces in the optically linear regime, ultrafast giant fluctuations of local fields occur. These fluctuations cause transient (on a femtosecond scale) formation of highly enhanced fields localized in nanometer-size regions ("the ninth wave effect"). The spatial distribution of those fields is dram...
