Physical Features

With the purpose to compare the physical features of the electromagnetic field, we describe the synthesis of optical singularities propagating in the free space and on a metal surface. In both cases the electromagnetic field has a slit-shaped curve as a boundary condition, and the singularities correspond to a shock wave that is a consequence of the curvature of the slit curve. As prototypes, we generate singularities that correspond to fold and cusped regions. We show that singularities in free space may generate bifurcation effects while plasmon fields do not generate these kinds of effects. Experimental results for free-space propagation are presented and for surface plasmon fields, computer simulations are shown.

Plasmon Polaritons

As the fundamental and promising branch of nanophotonics, surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) with the ability of manipulating the electromagnetic field on the subwavelength scale are of interest to a wide spectrum of scientists. Composed of metallic or dielectric structures whose shape and position are carefully engineered on the metal surface, traditional SPP devices are generally static and lack tunability. Dynamical manipulation of SPP is meaningful in both fundamental research and practical applications. In this article, the achievements in dynamical SPP excitation, SPP focusing, SPP vortex, and SPP nondiffracting beams are presented. The mechanisms of dynamical SPP devices are revealed and compared, and future perspectives are discussed.

A strong pulse electromagnetic field was employed to treat the surface layer of several metal materials. The results showed that the treatment of the strong pulse electromagnetic field could modify the microstructure of the region around the crack on the 45# steel surface. It could also make the recovery process occur in the scratch on the brass surface, and make the surface layer of the Wood’s alloy melt in a very shot time. These results indicated that the strong electromagnetic pulse could be developed as an effective non-contact method for the metal surface processing.

Boundary Perturbations

The classical method of solving electromagnetic field problems involving boundary perturbations is reformulated in a way that is both more general and simpler. The new formulation makes it easier to apply the theory to the class of boundaries amenable to the classical formulation, and shows that it can also be applied to other boundary shapes. As an example, the perfectly conducting sphere with surface perturbations has been treated, using the methods appropriate only for boundaries in the classical class and also using those applicable to the larger class. Some experimental results which appear to support the theory are reported.

<p><span>Sprites and halos are transient luminous events occurring above thunderclouds. They can be observed simultaneously or they can also appear individually. Circumstances leading to initiation of these events are still not completely understood. In order to clarify the role of lightning channels of causative lightning return strokes and the corresponding thundercloud charge structure, we have developed a new model of electric field amplitudes at halo/sprite altitudes. It consists of electrostatic and inductive components of the electromagnetic field generated by the lightning channel in free space at a height of 15 km. Above this altitude we solve Maxwell’s equations self-consistently including the nonlinear effects of heating and ionization/attachment of the electrons. At the same time, we investigate the role of a development of the thundercloud charge structure and related induced charges above the thundercloud. We show how these charges lead to the different distributions of the electric field at the initiation heights of the halos and sprites. We adjust free parameters of the model using observations of halos and sprites at the Nydek TLE observatory and using measurements of luminosity curves of the corresponding return strokes measured by an array of fast photometers. The latter measurements are also used to set the boundary conditions of the model.</span></p>

Attenuation Characteristics

For understanding the dynamic behavior of open and closed foam subject to a shock wave, this paper through experiments, to gain a deeper understanding of the incidence, reflection and transmission of a shock wave when it interacted with cellular foam. Moreover, by analyzing the loss of the peak overpressure and positive impulse, we were able to respectively know the positive impulse of the incidence, reflection and transmission shock wave. The experimental results indicated that the attenuation capability for foam to the shock wave was caused by the internal friction and deformation of solid phase, which would absorb the energy of the shock wave. From the results we gain an understanding that the mechanical phenomenon of open foam to shock wave are not fully consistent with those of closed foam , while the attenuation of open foam to shock wave is more effective than that of closed foam.
