Second Harmonic Reduction of Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier Using Ferrite Material
Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) consist of different elements. The most important element of TWT is the RF circuit. RF circuits in helix TWTs need a dielectric support to hold the helix; this support also has an effect in electromagnetic properties of RF circuits. A novel dielectric support is proposed to reduce the second harmonic of helix TWTs. The dielectric support in this structure consists of...
متن کاملSpatial quantum correlations in the fluorescence of traveling-wave second-harmonic generation
We investigate theoretically the spatial quantum correlations of the light produced by spontaneous emission in type-I second-harmonic generation in the traveling-wave configuration. It is first shown that spontaneous emission occurs at both fundamental and second-harmonic frequency. Considering the quantum fluctuations of the intensities collected in symmetrical parts of the far-field plane, no...
متن کاملContinuous measurement with traveling-wave probes
We consider the use of a traveling-wave probe to continuously measure the quantum state of an atom in free space. Unlike the more familiar cavity QED geometry, the traveling wave is intrinsically a multimode problem. Using an appropriate modal decomposition, we determine the effective measurement strength for different atom-field interactions and different initial states of the field. These inc...
متن کاملImpulsive quantum measurements: restricted path integral versus von Neumann collapse
The relation between the restricted path integral approach to quantum measurement theory and the commonly accepted von Neumann wavefunction collapse postulate is presented. It is argued that in the limit of impulsive measurements the two approaches lead to the same predictions. The example of repeated impulsive quantum measurements of position performed on a harmonic oscillator is discussed in ...
متن کاملBreakdown of the Slowly Varying Amplitude Approximation: Generation of Backward Traveling Second Harmonic Light
By numerically solving the nonlinear field equations, we simulate second-harmonic generation by laser pulses within a nonlinear medium without making the usual slowly-varying-amplitude approximation, an approximation which may fail when laser pulses of moderate intensity or ultrashort duration are used to drive a nonlinear process. Under these conditions we show that a backward-traveling, secon...
