Research abstract
ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES HAVING RISE AND FALL TIMES AS SHORT AS 10 PS AND PULSE DURATIONS FROM 100 PS TO 10 NS ARE USEFUL FOR AIR FORCE APPLICATIONS RANGING FROM IMPULSE RADAR TO ULTRAWIDEBAND (UWB) WEAPON SYSTEMS. IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THESE SYSTEMS AND EVALUATE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO BE ABLE TO MEASURE SINGLE PULSES HAVING BANDWIDTHS UP 30 GHZ IN A NONPERTURBING MANNER. AT PRESENT THERE IS NO SATISFACTORY TECHNIQUE FOR CHARACTERIZING SUCH PULSES IN A FREE RADIATION FIELD. WE PROPOSE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY UTILIZING NOVEL ELECTRO-OPTIC TECHNIQUES MADE POSSIBLE BY RECENT ADVANCES IN THE FASHIONING OF NANOSTRUCTURES FROM OPTICAL MATERIALS AND IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW LASERS AND PULSED-LASER DIAGNOSTICS.
