  • The Great War and Wireless Communications
    Chapter 1 The Great War and Wireless Communications 1.1 LAND - BOUND COMMUNICATIONS 1.1.1 The Battle of Tannenberg and the Electron Tube The guns of August 1914 thundered along a western front from Belgium through northeastern France to the Jura mountains and along an eastern front from East Prussia through Russian Poland and Austro - Hungarian Galicia. (See Figure 1.1 .) When war broke out at the beginning of that month, German leaders followed a strategy formulated by Alfred von Schlieffen nine years earlier in directing most of the available manpower and materiel against their enemies in the West, while fi ght- ing a holding action against the Russians. Fearful of a two - front war, they hoped to force France to sue for peace before the massive Russian armies could be brought effectively to bear on the much smaller German armies in East Prussia and Silesia. In the West, the Germans moved steadily through Belgium, entering Li è ge on 7 August and Brussels on 20 August, and at the same time sharply repulsed the French offensive in Alsace - Lorraine. But news from the Eastern Front was, from the German point of view, quite disturbing. Russia ’ s huge First and Second Armies, numbering some 200,000 men each, had mobilized and reached the front much faster than expected. On 17 August the Russians took the offensive, and on 20 August the Germans suffered a defeat at Gumbinnen. Soon a third of East Prussia was in Russian hands. There wasCOPYRIGHTED widespread fear and some panic MATERIALbehind German lines, and refugees streamed westward toward Berlin.

  • Chapter 7 Lasers
    Chapter 7 Lasers After having derived the quantum mechanically correct suszeptibility for an inverted atomic system that can provide gain, we can use the two-level model to study the laser and its dynamics. After discussing the laser concept briefly we will investigate various types of gain media, gas, liquid and solid-state, that can be used to construct lasers and amplifiers. Then the dynamics of lasers, threshold behavior, steady state behavior and relaxation oscillations are discussed. A short introduction in the generation of high energy and ultrashort laser pulses using Q-switching and mode locking will be given at the end. 7.1 The Laser (Oscillator) Concept Since the invention of the vacuum amplifier tube by Robert von Lieben and Lee de Forest in 1905/06 it was known how to amplify electromagnetic waves over a broad wavelength range and how to build oscillator with which such waves could be generated. This was extended into the millimeter wave re­ gion with advances in amplifier tubes and later solid-state devices such as transistors. Until the 1950’s thermal radiation sources were mostly used to generate electromagnetic waves in the optical frequency range. The gener­ ation of coherent optical waves was only made possible by the Laser. The first amplifier based on discrete energy levels (quantum amplifier) was the MASER (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation), which was invented by Gordon, Townes and Zeiger 1954. In 1958 Schawlow and Townes proposed to extend the MASER principle to the optical regime. 293 294 CHAPTER 7. LASERS The amplification should arise from stimulated emission between discrete en­ ergy levels that must be inverted, as discussed in the last section.

  • Vacuum Tube (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Vacuum Tube (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY In electronics, a vacuum tube, an electron tube, or just a tube (North America), or valve (Britain and some other regions) is a device that controls electric current between electrodes in an evacuated container [a glass jar with all the air removed]. Vacuum tubes mostly rely on “thermionic emission” of electrons from a hot filament or a cathode heated by the filament. This type is called a thermionic tube or thermionic valve. The simplest vacuum tube, the diode, contains a hot electron-emitting filament (cathode), and a cold plate (anode). Current can only flow in one direction through the device between the two electrodes, as electrons emitted by the cathode travel through the tube and are collected by the anode. Adding one or more control grids within the tube allows the current between the cathode and anode to be controlled by the voltage on the grid or grids. Tubes with grids can be used for many purposes, including amplification, rectification, switching, oscillation, and display. Invented in 1904 by John Ambrose Fleming, vacuum tubes were a basic component for electronics throughout the first half of the twentieth century, which saw the diffusion of radio, television, radar, sound reinforcement, sound recording and reproduction, large telephone networks, analog and digital computers, and industrial process control. Although some applications had counterparts using earlier technologies such as the spark gap transmitter or mechanical computers, it was the invention of the vacuum tube that made these technologies widespread and practical. In the 1940s the invention of semiconductor devices made it possible to produce solid-state devices, which are smaller, more efficient, more reliable, more durable, and cheaper than tubes.
