  2. Hexbeam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexbeam

    A hexbeam, or hexagonal-beam, is a type of a directional antenna for shortwave, most often used in amateur radio. The name comes from the hexagonal outer shape of the antenna. It may also sometimes be known as a W-antenna, referring to the shape of the driver. The design looks something like an upturned umbrella.

  3. Directional antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_antenna

    Patch antenna gain pattern. A directional antenna or beam antenna is an antenna which radiates or receives greater radio wave power in specific directions. Directional antennas can radiate radio waves in beams, when greater concentration of radiation in a certain direction is desired, or in receiving antennas receive radio waves from one specific direction only.

  4. Optical parametric amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_parametric_amplifier

    The OPA will make the pump beam (ω p) weaker, and amplify the signal beam (ω s), and also create a new, so-called idler beam at the frequency ω i with ω p =ω s +ω i. In the OPA, the pump and idler photons usually travel collinearly through a nonlinear optical crystal. Phase matching is required for the process to work well.

  5. Gain (laser) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain_(laser)

    In the case of non-pumped medium, the gain is negative. Round-trip gain means gain multiplied by the length of propagation of the laser emission during a single round-trip. In the case of gain varying along the length, the round-trip gain can be expressed with integral =. This definition assumes either flat-top profile of the laser beam inside ...

    A Gaussian beam photographic paper burn comparison of a carbon dioxide transversely-excited atmospheric-pressure laser obtained during the optimization process by adjusting the alignment mirrors. The optical resonator, or optical cavity, in its simplest form is two parallel mirrors placed around the gain medium, which provide feedback of

  7. Semiconductor optical gain - Wikipedia

    Note that apart from that, there were no free fitting parameters entering the theory. Accordingly, once the material parameters are known, the microscopic many-body model provides an accurate prediction of the optical gain spectra of any new semiconductor material as, for example, (GaIn)(NAs)/GaAs [4] or Ga(NAsP)/Si.

  8. Cassegrain antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassegrain_antenna

    A beam waveguide antenna is a type of complicated Cassegrain antenna with a long radio wave path to allow the feed electronics to be located at ground level. It is used in very large steerable radio telescopes and satellite ground antennas, where the feed electronics are too complicated and bulky, or requires too much maintenance and alterations, to locate on the dish; for example those using ...

  9. Horn antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_antenna

    The gain G of a pyramidal horn antenna (the ratio of the radiated power intensity along its beam axis to the intensity of an isotropic antenna with the same input power) is: [19] G = 4 π A λ 2 e A {\displaystyle G={\frac {4\pi A}{\lambda ^{2}}}e_{A}}
