Autoresonant (Nonstationary) Excitation of the Diocotron Mode in Non-neutral Plasmas
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the autoresonant (nonlinear phase locking) manipulation of the diocotron mode in a non-neutral plasma. Autoresonance is a very general phenomena in driven nonlinear oscillator and wave systems, and allows us to control the amplitude of a nonlinear wave without the use of feedback. These are the first controlled laboratory studies of autoresonance in a collective plasma system. [S0031-9007(99)09167-X]

Autoresonant „nonstationary... excitation of a collective nonlinear mode
The autoresonant ~nonlinear phase locking! manipulation of the diocotron mode in a non-neutral plasma is investigated. Autoresonance is a very general phenomenon in driven nonlinear oscillator and wave systems. By sweeping or chirping the drive frequency, autoresonance allows the amplitude of a nonlinear wave to be controlled without the use of feedback. The experimental results, including a no...
متن کاملThe effect of damping on autoresonant „nonstationary... excitation
When a nonlinear oscillator with an amplitude dependent frequency is driven by a swept frequency drive, the oscillator’s amplitude will, in some circumstances, automatically adjust itself so that the oscillator’s nonlinear frequency closely matches the drive frequency. This phenomenon is called autoresonance, and allows the amplitude of the oscillator to be controlled simply by sweeping the dri...
متن کاملSubharmonic autoresonance of the diocotron mode*
This paper investigates the excitation and control of the driven l51 diocotron mode in a pure electron plasma by adiabatic passage through higher order resonances. The excitation takes place when the driving frequency vd is swept such that its n th harmonic passes through the linear diocotron mode frequency v0 ; vd'v0 /n , n52,3, . . . . Once past the resonant region, the mode enters the autore...
متن کاملAutoresonant „nonstationary... excitation of pendulums, Plutinos, plasmas, and other nonlinear oscillators
A weakly driven pendulum cannot be strongly excited by a fixed frequency drive. The only way to strongly excite the pendulum is to use a drive whose frequency decreases with time. Feedback is often used to control the rate at which the frequency decreases. Feedback need not be employed, however; the drive frequency can simply be swept downwards. With this method, the drive strength must exceed ...
متن کاملSecond harmonic autoresonant control of the l=1 diocotron mode in pure-electron plasmas
An oscillator whose frequency is amplitude dependent can be controlled by a drive whose frequency sweeps through a resonance with the oscillator's fundamental frequency. This phenomenon is called autoresonance, and has been previously investigated for drives with frequencies near the oscillator's fundamental or subharmonic frequencies. This paper examines autoresonance for drives at twice the f...
