Exploring Nonlinear Phenomena: Ultra-High-Power, Ultra-Short Microwave Pulses Interacting with Gas and Plasma
Abstrak
Over last ten years, ultra-intense (sub-gigawatt) ultra-short (sub-nanosecond) high-power microwave (HPM) sources (X- and K-band) were developed. These advancements have facilitated the exploration of microwave-plasma and microwave-gas interactions in nonlinear regimes that were previously unachievable. In this presentation, we will unveil findings from studies conducted over the past five years at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology’s Plasma Physics and Pulsed Power Laboratory. We have discovered a range of novel phenomena, including the self-channeling of HPM pulses triggered by ionization [1], [2], the generation of plasma wakefields driven by HPM [3], the nonlinear total absorption of these pulses [4], and their propagation at superluminal speeds. [5]. These insights have been confirmed through experimental investigations and are buttressed by both theoretical and computational studies, significantly enhancing our comprehension of the dynamics involved in interactions between microwaves and plasma.
