Passage of microwaves and current through a metallized film evaporated by a laser flash (pulsed window for microwaves). Production and use of steep microwave fronts
Askar'yan G.A. , Tarasova N.M.
It is shown that a metallized film is evaporated by a short laser pulse it is possible to obtain short microwave emission fronts of length amounting to a fraction of the laser pulse duration. It is also shown that evaporation of a metallized current-carrying film by a laser flash interrupts the current abruptly and leads to appearance of an overvoltage. The possibility of using electromagnetic pulses with steep fronts are considered. It is noted that such pulses cause directed electron motion and produce a dc component of the magnetic field.
