The V.P. Shestopalov School Methodology in Theory of Wave Diffraction

The efficient mathematically rigorous solution techniques added to diffraction theory by prof. V.P.Shestopalov and his followers in the Kharkov diffraction school are surveyed and analyzed in anticipation for further advances that might be where the well-known methods overlap. The formulations for and the links between different classes of the so solved problems are revised to get them more generalized.

Application of the Uniform Asymptotic Theory to Electromagnetic Wave Scattering by a Half-Plane with Impedance Properties

The problem of wave diffraction by a half-plane with impedance properties is analyzed. The theoretical results presented relate to the scattering of plane and cylindrical waves and have been obtained within the geometrical theory of diffraction and the uniform asymptotic theory. These results are compared between themselves, as well as with the results of other asymptotic methods. The effect of impedance upon the scattered field is discussed. Dependences of the scattered field on the distance from the half-plane edge are presented for a variety of impedance magnitudes.

Wave Matrices in the Analysis of Noises of Dissipative Antenna Arrays

A matrix technique is proposed for the noise analysis of an arbitrary phased antenna array allowing to estimate the contribution from all the internal noise sources (that may be correlated and not correlated) with rigorous consideration for the mutual coupling between lossy radiators. The relations are obtained for calculating the internal noise temperature on the output of the receiving phased array.

Singular integral equations in the problem of wave diffraction by a grating of imperfect flat irregular strips

A technique based on the application of the Kontorovich-Lebedev integral transform and singular integral equations are developed for the solution of the problems of wave diffraction by three-dimensional irregular strip gratings. The numerical solution of the singular integral equations was obtained by discretization and application of the Gaussian quadratures.

Resonance Phenomena Resulting from Excitation of Normal Modes in Sets of Coupled Linear Oscillators

The paper studies the conditions for normal mode excitation in sets of coupled linear oscillators with a finite number of elements. Chains with a finite number of elements have been studied. It is shown that the character of normal mode excitation can be varied by changing the sequence order of the oscillators, and the mode frequencies will be changed significantly. The mathematical package Mathcad 7.0 was used for the numerical analysis of resonance phenomena in the objects under investigation.

Nonlinear Surface Polaritons in Semimagnetic Semiconductors Being in a Phase of Antiferromagnetic Ordering

In the articles nonlinear surface polaritons are investigated in semimagnetic semiconductors which are in a phase of antiferromagnetic ordering. It is shown that there exist two types of the nonlinear surface polaritons which characterized by nonotonic and non-nonotonic decaying of the electromagnetic field in semimagnetic semiconductor. It is found that nonlinear surface polaritons with the monotonic decaying electromagnetic field exist in the same frequency range as linear surface polaritons. It is found out that nonlinear surface polaritons with non-monotonic decaying electromagnetic field propagate in the frequency range which is the non-passage range for linear surface polaritons. The influence of the electron plasma frequency is determined on the dispersion properties of the nonlinear surface polaritons.

Interaction of Beams of Charged Particles with Semiconductor Cylindrical Magnetoactive Plasma

Oscillations are investigated in a cylindrical system which is represented as electron beam-semiconductor-dielectric (metal) in an external magnetic field. It is shown that besides the instability of Van Kampen waves (space charge waves of a beam) the instability of cyclotron waves occurs in such systems. The increase of the external magnetostatic field and the effective frequency of electron collisions in the semiconductor tend to decrease the instability increments of these waves.

Anomalous Transparency of a Thin Metal Plate Carrying a Strong Transport Current

A new anomalous penetration effect is predicted of an electromagnetic wave into a thin metal plate with a strong d.c. current. As is shown, the electromagnetic wave field can be driven to the opposite side of the specimen even if spatial dispersion is strong, such that the penetration depth is much less than the specimen thickness. The effect is due to the group of electrons entrapped by the spatially alternating proper magnetic field of the transport current. We also predict a cyclotron resonance for the trapped electrons, resulting from the in periodical returns to the skin layer.

On the Interaction between an Electron Beam and a Slow Electromagnetic Wave in an O -Type Oscillator

The equation of an electron motion in a slow wave field with the constant amplitude and its approximate solution technique are considered on the basis of the solution expansion into power series by the small wave amplitude. It is shown that the most effective energy transfer mode from the beam to the wave always lies beyond the bounds of this approximation applicability. Thereby, this approximation is inapplicable for description of the oscillation modes having the efficiency factor close to the maximum possible.

In0.4Ga0.6As Gunn Diodes with a m-n: InP1-xAsx Cathode

The operation of the In04Ga0.6As Gunn-effect diodes with a m-n: InP1-xAsx cathode has been investigated in terms of a two-temperature model at a crystal lattice temperature of 300K and an active region length of 0.5; 0.8; 1.0 m. The optimal InP1-xAsx composition is determined for each diode length. For the diode having a 10 mm-active region an optimal height of the potential barrier on the metal-semiconductor contact is likewise specified. It is shown that the maximum generation frequency is ~250GHz.

High-Performance Continuous-Wave GaInSbAs/GaSb Type-II Lasers

The findings of the studies into narrow-stripe GaInSbAs/GaSb type-II QW lasers are presented. The measurements of laser performances have been made in a continuous-wave mode at room temperature. The optical output power reached 20mW/facet. The interval quantum efficiency of the lasers was found to be 89% and the power efficiency amounted to 20%. The laser emitted in the fundamental spatial mode and operated on a single frequency over a wide range of currents and temperatures. The side longitudinal mode suppression was as great as 30dB. The emission wavelength could be continuously current-tuned within 0.7 to 1.2nm. The single longitudinal mode behavior was attributable to the photorefractive effect owing to DX centers in the Te-doped emitter layer acting as a saturable absorber.
