"Transition radiation from relativistic electrons is investigated
in an ultrasonic superlattice excited in a finite thickness plate,"
scientists in Yerevan, Armenia report.
"In the quasi-classical approximation, formulae are derived for
the vector potential of the electromagnetic field and for the
spectral-angular distribution of the radiation intensity. The acoustic
waves generate new resonance peaks in the spectral and angular
distribution of the radiation intensity," wrote A.R. Lazarian and
colleagues.
The researchers concluded: "The heights of the peaks can be tuned by
choosing the parameters of the acoustic wave."
Lazarian and colleagues published their study in Modern Physics
Letters B (Optical Transition Radiation In Presence Of Acoustic Waves.
Modern Physics Letters B, 2010;24(27):2693-2703).
