Investigation of Coherent and Incoherent Laser Beams Propagation Through Turbulent Atmosphere
In this paper propagation of combined laser beam through atmosphere is investigated. Laser beam is combined via lens array arrangement. Turbulence is considered as an affecting factor of atmosphere and its effects on transverse coherence length (Fried parameter), peak intensity, propagation efficiency, and spot size of the laser beam is investigated. Coherent and incoherent combined beam are co...
متن کاملFilamentational instability of partially coherent femtosecond optical pulses in air.
The filamentational instability of spatially broadband femtosecond optical pulses in air is investigated by means of a kinetic wave equation for spatially incoherent photons. An explicit expression for the spatial amplification rate is derived and analyzed. It is found that the spatial spectral broadening of the pulse can lead to stabilization of the filamentation instability. Thus optical smoo...
متن کاملA STUDY OF GAMMA RAY EXPOSURE BUILDUP FACTORS IN STRATIFIED SHIELDS FOR POINT ISOTROPIC SOURCES, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF INCOHERENT AND COHERENT SCATTERING
The effects of including incoherent (bound-electron) and coherent (Rayleigh) scattering in exposure buildup factor calculations for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer water-lead shield have been investigated in the gamma ray energy (E?) range of 40 keV to 3 MeV. Incoherent scattering decreases the values of these factors in both layers up to E? ~ 200 keV and the effect i...
متن کاملOne-laser interferometric broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering.
We introduce an interferometric technique for eliminating the non-resonant background of broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. CARS microscopy has been used for imaging a number of biological samples and processes, but the studies are mostly limited to detecting lipids in biological systems by probing the C-H stretch. Non-resonant background and incoherent noise sou...
متن کاملEnhancement of terahertz radiation by CW infrared laser excitation in a doubly interdigitated grating gates transistors
We report on a broadband terahertz emission from a doubly interdigitated grating gates high electron mobility transistor. The observed emission was explained as due to the excitation of multi mode of plasmons: thermally excited incoherent modes and instability-driven coherent modes. The experiment was performed using Fourier spectrometer system coupled with high sensitive 4K Silicon bolometer u...
