53 results about "Cherenkov radiation" patented technology

Cherenkov radiation (IPA: /tʃɛrɛnˈkɔv/, Russian: Черенков) is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. The characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor is due to Cherenkov radiation. It is named for Soviet physicist Pavel Cherenkov, who shared the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physics for its discovery.

Optical frequency up-conversion of femtosecond pulses into targeted single bands in the visible and ultraviolet

An apparatus and methods for generating a substantially supercontinuum-free widely-tunable multimilliwatt source of radiation characterized by a narrowband line profile. The apparatus and methods employ nonlinear optical mechanisms in a nonlinear photonic crystal fiber (PCF) by detuning the wavelength of a pump laser to a significant extent relative to the zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) of the PCF. Optical phenomena employed for the selective up-conversion in the PCF include, but are not limited to, four-wave mixing and Cherenkov radiation. Tunability is achieved by varying pump wavelength and power and by substituting different types of PCFs characterized by specified dispersion properties.

Tunable Cerenkov radiation source

InactiveCN102496678AOvercoming high voltageOvercome volumeThermoelectric devicesLow voltageRefractive index
A surface polaritons Cherenkov radiation source (SPCRS) belongs to an electromagnetic wave radiation source technology field. The radiation source comprises: an electron gun, a medium torus (or a medium cylinder) and a metal film layer deposited on an internal surface of the medium torus (or deposited on an external surface of the medium cylinder). An electron beam emitted from the electron gun is swept past from a metal film layer surface so as to excite a surface polaritons wave on the metal film layer surface. The surface polaritons wave penetrates the metal film layer and arrives at a medium material layer. When a ratio beta of a moving speed of the electron beam emitted by the electron gun to a light velocity in vacuum and a refractive index n of the medium material layer satisfy a Cerenkov radiation condition which is n beta>1, the surface polaritons wave is converted into the Cerenkov radiation in the medium material layer. A radiation frequency is determined by the frequency of the surface polaritons wave excited by the electron beam. Through changing moved electron energy, the frequency of the excited surface polaritons wave can be changed so as to tune the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation source. The radiation source of the invention has a small size, a narrow bandwidth and a low voltage, and is tunable and easy to be integrated.
