LASER PHYSICS: RECENT STUDIES BY A.R. ARAMYAN AND CO-AUTHORS ADD NEW DATA TO LASER PHYSICS FINDINGS
Science Letter
August 26, 2008
"It is demonstrated that the radiation of red sprites and blue jets
formed in the upper atmosphere is due to the superluminescence of
highly excited atomic oxygen induced by an acoustic wave," scientists
writing in the journal Laser Physics report (see also Laser Physics).
"The field observations of the effect of acoustic waves on the
atmosphere are presented. The responses that represent high-frequency
electromagnetic and optical pulses are obtained," wrote A.R. Aramyan
and colleagues.
The researchers concluded: "The laboratory experimental study of
the gas discharge is performed to simulate the processes in the
upper atmosphere."
Aramyan and colleagues published their study in Laser Physics
(Superluminescence of atomic oxygen in the upper atmosphere. Laser
Physics, 2008;18(7):835-841).
