1
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:09,120
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. And it gives me really, genuinely pleasure to introduce Howard Rosenberg to you.

2
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:17,550
Howard is one of this year's last visiting lecturers,

3
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:27,270
and so we're grateful to the two travel funds which allowed him to come and spend a week here working and talking to members of my group.

4
00:00:28,890 --> 00:00:32,190
And I think this is also counting as as a physics colloquium. So.

5
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,120
So we're actually getting two tools for this. For the price of one cup of tea, which is good value, I guess.

6
00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:43,860
Now, how his parents lived in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

7
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,069
And one day they drive across the Lewiston, Queenstown Bridge, I believe it is, but I don't know the exact date.

8
00:00:53,070 --> 00:01:01,620
But very shortly after they drove to Niagara Falls, asleep at Niagara Falls, New York, and very shortly after Howard was born.

9
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:09,150
And this shows the degree of ingenuity and full science, which they clearly bequeathed to Howard,

10
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:21,170
because it enabled him to have a have two passports, which proved useful later, and I suppose in today's climate may prove useful again.

11
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,890
I went to the university, my master, and did a bachelor's degree in engineering.

12
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:43,050
He did his Ph.D. at Princeton in Astrophysical Sciences and then to the Bell Labs before joining University of Maryland in, I think, 1988.

13
00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:48,420
And he joined the Institute for Physical Science and Technology, which is in electrical engineering.

14
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:54,990
And he still has some part in there. But he's also the major part is in physics.

15
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:02,250
I think I have that right. And he's won many awards, including Presidential Young Investigator Award,

16
00:02:03,060 --> 00:02:09,330
John Dawson Award from the American Physical Society, and he's a fellow of the American Physical Society.

17
00:02:10,650 --> 00:02:16,140
If I may, I'd like to say a word or two about how I got to know Howard, like many of you.

18
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:22,020
I like the way you would have learned about your academic colleagues on Earth,

19
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,940
about Howard through his papers, and in particular, in the 1990 to mid 1990s,

20
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:38,640
he wrote a series of really elegant papers on an ingenious way of guiding very intense laser pulses through long lengths of plasma.

21
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,210
And if by very intense, I mean on a scale of 10 to 24 watts per square metre,

22
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,090
which is sufficiently high that the electrons in matter move with relativistic energies.

23
00:02:51,420 --> 00:02:58,410
And by long, I mean long compared to the range on the scale of 100 radio ranges, that sort of number.

24
00:02:59,190 --> 00:03:06,510
And a little bit later I became interested in the same sort of idea and rather foolishly tried to do it in a different way.

25
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:14,910
And more recently I realised that of course Howard Howard's method was perhaps superior in some ways.

26
00:03:14,910 --> 00:03:23,010
And we've been thinking again about this with perhaps a little twist on it, and I'm talking about it this week, and it's truly an interesting area.

27
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,040
But the reason I mention it is, is that I've been forced to read those papers again before.

28
00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:30,330
I've wanted to read those papers again.

29
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:37,530
And and in doing so I just realised how beautifully written they are and how they're absolutely jam packed for the physics.

30
00:03:38,220 --> 00:03:42,690
Every paragraph causes you to think a little bit and you learn a lot by thinking hard about it.

31
00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:50,670
And so I feel that today in his talk you'll find his talk, which is on optical vortices, a different subject,

32
00:03:50,670 --> 00:03:55,590
although there is a connection, will be jam packed with the physics, and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.

33
00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:58,410
So with that, I want to hand over to the Howard.

34
00:04:02,090 --> 00:04:07,549
Well, thank you, Simon, for that over-the-top introduction, which used up 5 minutes of my speaking time.

35
00:04:07,550 --> 00:04:14,510
So I will I will speak faster than I already do.

36
00:04:14,510 --> 00:04:21,860
So I guess jampacked means he talks too fast and there's too much on the slides, so I hope you don't find that.

37
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:26,719
Anyway, I'd like to thank my students here.

38
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,150
My students are just fantastic and every few years I tell my students are about to graduate.

39
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:39,410
So these guys are graduating the next six months. I say it's the end of a golden era that I that I await the next set of students to come in.

40
00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:47,210
And, you know, I'm a little hesitant, I'm a little nervous, but, you know, they always seem to be really good.

41
00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:53,270
So the new newsletters coming in right now, if they match these guys, I'll be I'll be lucky.

42
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:55,069
I mean, these guys are fantastic.

43
00:04:55,070 --> 00:05:02,820
In fact, I told them I'm going to delay giving them their fees and I'm going to step offices for a quarter of my life as a poet, whatever.

44
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:06,260
And in fact, they're like one of the doors, professor.

45
00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:10,970
Okay, just stay here now getting paid more. I know that that's a better story.

46
00:05:12,170 --> 00:05:15,139
The work is funded by a wide range of agencies.

47
00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:21,620
I was telling Simon, depending on where they I'm in the talk, I showed up in the crowd and I said to the bank, Depends what I'm talking to.

48
00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:32,150
So so I don't know what your feeling is about military funding in Britain, but I thought it was up to the French just in case it should be that.

49
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:39,050
Let's see. The other thing is my students work on a bunch of different projects so continuously,

50
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,810
so they tend to get of quite a few papers by the time they graduate.

51
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,189
And a number of agencies are involved in funding these projects.

52
00:05:50,190 --> 00:05:56,530
So so it's not like I just submitted the same proposal to all these agencies and just changed a few of them.

53
00:05:56,630 --> 00:06:01,310
You know, what we're seeing here is that these students are all on different projects on this.

54
00:06:01,310 --> 00:06:08,360
In fact, this isn't funded and this is something that just came out of following our noses in the lab.

55
00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:13,159
So let me go to the next slide. Okay.

56
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,379
So let me just give you the punchline of what I'm going to say today.

57
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:26,630
And that's that this this vortex phenomenon that's making the first slide stoves,

58
00:06:26,780 --> 00:06:38,090
stoves without the it's a universal structure that accompanies all self-driving beings.

59
00:06:38,510 --> 00:06:42,620
And we discovered an airflow limitation. And I'll show you how that happened.

60
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:48,919
And we've done experiments and simulations for this, but it also applies to relativistic.

61
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:56,660
So focusing on actual levitation in plasmas, which is the basis for the most successful version of laser acceleration.

62
00:06:57,530 --> 00:07:04,180
We are also we are really quick simulations for that, very sophisticated simulations, but we're also setting up to do experiments.

63
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:12,290
So that's why I have this at a later time. We have done those experiments here. So here's a picture of what this looks like.

64
00:07:13,070 --> 00:07:16,490
This is meant to be a time machine.

65
00:07:16,490 --> 00:07:20,120
That's not not a bunch of these pulses coming out of some source.

66
00:07:21,020 --> 00:07:28,790
So what happens when you generate a bunch of these things is that you have a total structure.

67
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:38,660
This is phase circulation and where the centre of circulation is and there's a field of so that's sort of depicted by this noble intensity region.

68
00:07:38,990 --> 00:07:44,060
And this thing moves at the good velocity of the pulse and the total.

69
00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:55,040
The object as depicted here has total angular momentum of zero, but there's not zero angular momentum density in this object.

70
00:07:55,910 --> 00:08:10,310
So that's it is so the kinds of vortices that you're familiar with are so-called maybe familiar with our own orbital angular momentum vortices.

71
00:08:10,850 --> 00:08:19,759
And for instance, a Gaussian being that's higher than the lowest order basically can be thought to have Orbital

72
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:28,100
gaining momentum around its propagation axis and that shows up in the expression of their gas

73
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:36,590
and then as a phase suppression around chance of beating the odds by space when you move into

74
00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:42,860
now here's a different structure and this is just the limitation of my power point scale.

75
00:08:42,860 --> 00:08:48,740
So it's not a real action. This is actually a pulse. So imagine something that's more teardrop shaped.

76
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:56,900
This is a field over the centre and there's now a phase circulation which exists in space time.

77
00:08:57,290 --> 00:09:00,800
So front to back as time up and down is this transverse.

78
00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:05,830
Position or in the frame of the polls, you can look at this as being a local space killer.

79
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,860
So the first circulation is is in space time.

80
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:17,160
It's a one dimensional story in the sense that that field is what do.

81
00:09:19,130 --> 00:09:27,800
So this is, again, a repeat of what I showed before. This is this is in 3D and the circulation is in space time.

82
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:36,560
Now, let me just maybe make this go down a little easier by showing some questions you may be familiar with.

83
00:09:38,210 --> 00:09:41,410
This is a low order guessing game.

84
00:09:41,420 --> 00:09:44,930
So this part of the familiar with that's the radial Gaussian fall off.

85
00:09:45,770 --> 00:09:52,820
This contains the voice case and also whatever other face you have in the game.

86
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,950
And this is the transverse phase which we can write is either a plus or minus sign.

87
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:08,210
So this is a space phase situation. Now, in the time domain, what we're going to do is to find a local space coordinate.

88
00:10:09,140 --> 00:10:13,420
So this is space coordinate moving also. And you can divide by the good velocity.

89
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,920
It is a local time orbit and you can do exactly the same thing.

90
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:24,070
You can have this pre factor. We have this radial Gaussian falloff.

91
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,770
Now we can say, well, we have a Gaussian temporal dependence.

92
00:10:27,770 --> 00:10:34,430
We have the same sort of additional phase factors here. But we have this piece, as I said, and this could be written this way.

93
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,480
So this is a spacetime situation that this would describe.

94
00:10:38,660 --> 00:10:42,080
In fact, this one here is a linear stone.

95
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,580
So that that expression to describe the structure is not like this, but like this.

96
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:54,620
Okay. So just to repeat, go back to what I showed earlier.

97
00:10:55,250 --> 00:11:03,950
Well, I'm going to show experiments and simulations for two systems simulations in the classical case.

98
00:11:04,390 --> 00:11:10,070
In this case, I'm going to show results for here.

99
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:22,580
So. In November, I'm going to show results for air and.

100
00:11:24,020 --> 00:11:27,450
Okay. Yeah. Okay. So in here,

101
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:36,410
this whole process arises from the sole focus on the amount of evidence and so far saying is

102
00:11:36,410 --> 00:11:43,040
arrested by ionisation and the cell focusing in arrest process is what gives rise to this.

103
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:51,940
What is is in plasmas the nonlinear to the causes of cell focusing is as relativistic.

104
00:11:51,950 --> 00:12:00,169
I talk about that and the arrest of another area of the termination of dominant area occurs due to cavitation.

105
00:12:00,170 --> 00:12:05,360
So the electrons are forced out of the lightest way by the mode of pressure.

106
00:12:05,810 --> 00:12:11,960
So that's what term. And so there's always a self focusing process in the termination process and that's what gives rise to these new structures.

107
00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:19,610
Okay. So let me start with some limitation in value of an electron system.

108
00:12:19,610 --> 00:12:22,850
So this uses linear.

109
00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:31,280
So just to review at low intensity, a CW laser pulse diverges when it propagates.

110
00:12:31,610 --> 00:12:33,230
And that's just because it's a wave.

111
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:42,410
And the characteristic length of divergence is the so-called rather edge, as defined to be the distance over which the intensity drops after two.

112
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,720
If you use a lens, nothing changes you just short on the spatial scales.

113
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:52,040
But the same same physics is involved. Things change the locks.

114
00:12:52,580 --> 00:12:59,150
When you go to short pulses of a few molecules, I'm talking a lot of people who are short pulses shortly.

115
00:12:59,450 --> 00:13:04,820
But what happens in the lab and this was really made possible by the mid 1992,

116
00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:10,250
people were able to find our way as a result of other 50 seconds pulses with a few black holes

117
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:18,829
and the next person standing took place in Michigan outside of Hollywood and it was laboratory.

118
00:13:18,830 --> 00:13:26,450
And I'm quite confident that he didn't call it the safety people that the game just down the hallway and

119
00:13:26,660 --> 00:13:32,690
this is right out of the pulse compressor if you if you know what that is but it's right out of the laser.

120
00:13:32,690 --> 00:13:36,320
And after propagating a couple of metres, it just collapsed.

121
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,700
And then what happened was this long extended,

122
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:51,860
high intensity region whose diameter is equivalent to many really ranges and propagation and electron gestures

123
00:13:51,860 --> 00:14:00,050
were limited to about a 10th of atmosphere and a 10th of a 10th of a percent of that of atmospheric density.

124
00:14:00,350 --> 00:14:04,219
And the intensity was limited to about 10 to 14 watts for sure.

125
00:14:04,220 --> 00:14:05,900
So it's a self-limiting process.

126
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:13,790
Once you generate some electrons here, it tends to refract between and the structure just propagates through for a long distance.

127
00:14:14,090 --> 00:14:22,220
What limits it can get into too much detail in the of the range of the original object, which is obviously much, much longer.

128
00:14:22,370 --> 00:14:28,219
It's a much wider diameter. When you get some free things here, you get electrons generated.

129
00:14:28,220 --> 00:14:35,900
So there's a vision that we could see some of them die within the electron column and have a giant capacitor here and run on electrons all over.

130
00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:46,640
The better part is the discharging intensity. So this is the first thing, the potential funder I think about it, NSF, one of the other agencies.

131
00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:53,360
But what practically speaking, you know, it's very, very difficult for the gases discharge.

132
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,560
Again, it's the degree of strength of some people.

133
00:14:57,830 --> 00:15:05,959
But but in a more useful and actually on a daily basis many many groups use this process.

134
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:12,440
So this collapse leads to high intensity and very rapid temporal changes within

135
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,600
the index for fractionalisation and through basically stretching the electrons

136
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:28,220
down molecules and you get what's called some phase modulation and a very broad band radiation is generated which still haven't been fully directed.

137
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:31,490
So this can be used for lots of different things.

138
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:42,350
There are versions of positive lasers to capture this dark colour or fibre kind of there's some limitations on those process uses atoms.

139
00:15:42,590 --> 00:15:51,620
So in everyday usage, filaments are very, very common, even though people may not understand its own mutation process.

140
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,240
So it's is being used.

141
00:15:53,720 --> 00:16:04,129
And so the super containing generation is that the typical practice or they're everywhere in the organism, they're are quite small.

142
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:11,710
So lots of people tend to use lenses. And so the length of these things is governed typically by the variation the lot.

143
00:16:12,070 --> 00:16:14,870
So typical labs they have. A few metres long.

144
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:24,800
But if you send a one and a half centimetre doing anything down a long hallway, we'll talk about that in a few seconds.

145
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:35,090
These things can be 40, 50 years long. But what limits them is energy prices in terms of the divergence of the human beings.

146
00:16:36,270 --> 00:16:41,100
Anyway, this is my lab. This is an example of the use of tolerances of two atmospheres, you know.

147
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,429
And so I'll describe why we use this green filaments in this cell.

148
00:16:44,430 --> 00:16:51,860
And this is a nice beacon of light. And you can see this is the if you subtract off the other side of that,

149
00:16:51,860 --> 00:16:57,140
we get this huge bad, you know, double out of the lab and this is something like 50%.

150
00:16:58,010 --> 00:17:01,520
So it's capable of supporting pulses.

151
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:11,750
If you want to compress it and you can use this, it's capable of assembling a double sheet up to the surface of the circumstance.

152
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:18,660
Okay. So many of you have seen graphs like this is not this is a traditional graph always thrown up.

153
00:17:18,970 --> 00:17:26,570
So it looks like a fancy way to start. And it gives the intensity of lasers versus a year.

154
00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:33,530
And there's a proliferation when you get into the mind. And because the first demonstrated laser was actually a pulse laser, nice CW laser.

155
00:17:33,530 --> 00:17:40,100
So things got less exciting for a few years while teeny tiny lasers came in and then it started coming back up again.

156
00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:46,400
So the area that we operate in is with these with these filament type experiments.

157
00:17:46,670 --> 00:17:53,240
Okay. And then and then here you see the different kinds of physics that you can do with these and these towers shown.

158
00:17:53,510 --> 00:18:02,959
So we operate with an air filaments or any filament gas or actually filaments even in solids and these kinds of 10 to 14 to the 13 densities,

159
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,260
you're operating between intensities, you operate between 2003 electrons.

160
00:18:07,310 --> 00:18:12,440
You remember I said that the in air digitisation yield is about a 10th of a percent.

161
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:19,610
So most of the air is actually neutral, it's not optimised, and yet it's exposed to direct high intensity.

162
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:27,889
And so perturbation theory does not apply to the atoms that are exposed to that kind of laser intensity.

163
00:18:27,890 --> 00:18:31,070
And then there's because of that, there's room for lots of mischief.

164
00:18:31,490 --> 00:18:37,310
And I don't want to talk about this, but this is a controversy that my group got involved here, I think successfully.

165
00:18:37,910 --> 00:18:41,530
You know, it was the new world versus the old world.

166
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:46,969
And to give you a little time to listen to the circuit, but if anyone is interested in this, you can talk to me later.

167
00:18:46,970 --> 00:18:55,400
But it was a question of what the nonlinear, nonlinear, responsible adverse injury intensity feels when the atoms is organised.

168
00:18:56,270 --> 00:19:04,220
And so we have diagnostics, a good measure of that. And then the other part of this is the Relativistic Machine.

169
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,370
So we've gone through about ionised electrons, let's say, from hydrogen.

170
00:19:09,380 --> 00:19:13,340
So it's a bunch of protons and electrons, yet you still have a known linearity,

171
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:24,800
but that kicks in when the normalised electric potential, which basically is a measure of vitamin C in some sense, is close to unity.

172
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:31,110
And then you have to take into account the relativistic electron orbits and so on.

173
00:19:31,130 --> 00:19:38,960
So there is an electron investment. So that's sort of that that's a source of another non linearity and that's the source of relativity and so forth.

174
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:45,350
And so we'll talk about that. Okay. I'm going to give you this because we talk about filaments to burn people out.

175
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:54,350
And a lot of the allegations that I added some of my editorial comments here, so clearly directed energy is not important.

176
00:19:54,350 --> 00:19:59,570
I think that's not controversial because you're talking about military and military intelligence.

177
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:04,010
And if you have bigger beings with hundreds of molecules, they're very different to hundreds of Solomon.

178
00:20:04,010 --> 00:20:09,740
So it's not like, you know, my father had a religious incident, so it's not an energy delivery device.

179
00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:13,490
But if want to deliver the intensity, it's actually pretty good.

180
00:20:13,490 --> 00:20:20,960
If people are thinking about using it for this laser induced breakout spectroscopy, this is something that's been hijacked a number of years.

181
00:20:20,970 --> 00:20:24,910
I think that deserves to the question that you're going to bring.

182
00:20:25,250 --> 00:20:26,360
Then there's other things here.

183
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:31,940
So if you're interested in this slide, there's there's actually a fairly large community trying to apply some of this to various things.

184
00:20:33,260 --> 00:20:37,930
I don't through all of them what I'm going to focus on actually and stuff, but my group does.

185
00:20:37,930 --> 00:20:42,510
So I don't know that you get a degree in checkmarks there, but it's all fun and great.

186
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:49,070
So and I'll talk about how you can actually use filters for directed energy, but not the filaments.

187
00:20:49,250 --> 00:20:59,230
So this is all of the air to form index of refraction structures and then those are data to hydrogen based for remote detection.

188
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,440
I'm not going to talk about that,

189
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:07,940
but if you're interested in a paper a couple of years ago in optical and and also you're not going to talk about laser acceleration of electrons,

190
00:21:07,940 --> 00:21:13,790
what I'm going to talk about is relativistic propagation that leads to laser acceleration, which the.

191
00:21:13,860 --> 00:21:25,060
Sports is a pyramid. Okay. This is a little review of the nonlinear and the boundary electron nonlinear atoms,

192
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,500
the small electric field and the divergent that's just linearly polarised.

193
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:37,560
The atom sensor, large electric field view of the electrons has been stretched and this is near a nearly instantaneous response.

194
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,990
You can think of it as a spring, a simple spring model.

195
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,340
And so before the laser was invented, the spring responded by the early,

196
00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:54,809
and then later you start to stretch in the spring, and so it gets floppy or gets looser as the laser field goes up.

197
00:21:54,810 --> 00:22:14,200
And this curvature basically means that the effect of polarised ability of a number of a bounce electron without an electron is it scales or fields.

198
00:22:14,220 --> 00:22:21,390
In other words, it becomes more polarised the larger the laser is basically because of that, because the spring is getting sloppier.

199
00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:31,360
So we can just see what the effect of this is. Simply call I said perturbation theory doesn't apply until I need to use it for a toilet paper.

200
00:22:31,650 --> 00:22:42,110
So I'm using this as a target. And so I'm expanding the polarisation at a power so that you feel in a central symmetric medium, which is, you know,

201
00:22:42,180 --> 00:22:48,270
typically the ensemble average over the gas that goes away and you get terms,

202
00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:55,139
you can group the terms like this and say saying a fraction in terms of susceptibility.

203
00:22:55,140 --> 00:23:00,660
So you see the leading order response here is scaling the light intensity.

204
00:23:00,660 --> 00:23:06,330
And then there's what's the sign of this thing like explain in the earlier slide springs to become a flop here.

205
00:23:06,660 --> 00:23:12,620
So M2 as positive energy is basically related to the second rhythm that the terms that I showed you.

206
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:20,909
So what is the effect of this? The effect is that if you hear the beam waste of a gas would be near the beam was

207
00:23:20,910 --> 00:23:25,890
the face looks like this at low intensity and here's the laser intensity profile.

208
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:36,780
But I think we've now learned that the index goes like the before low intensity index plus turn the intensity so it peaks in the centre.

209
00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:45,059
And so the index profile of that, does it accept that optical fibre that slows down the wave at the centre of the beam and then look at it,

210
00:23:45,060 --> 00:23:51,120
it just propagates more or less like it normally do on the outside of the lens that causes concavity

211
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:57,450
in the face fronts and that cell phones and that will continue and that will go to the singularity.

212
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:02,460
It's a runaway process because the higher the more peak it gets, the more some location in does.

213
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:12,610
And it just keeps going until something starts it. So you can derive a criterion for this,

214
00:24:13,050 --> 00:24:22,520
the basically requiring this process to be diffraction diffraction services president tending to spread the beam up.

215
00:24:23,060 --> 00:24:26,810
And so I was watching these samples.

216
00:24:30,530 --> 00:24:36,410
And so basically it comes down to a power critical power requirement.

217
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:42,140
And to have this collapse happening in air, I need to detect gigawatts of power.

218
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,540
This is why this didn't have to wait till the mid-nineties to have it devastated in the air,

219
00:24:47,540 --> 00:24:55,069
because the time that technology was available to provide 2 to 10 gigawatts and a couple of villages and saw it,

220
00:24:55,070 --> 00:25:01,700
it's about a thousand times less the threshold. One divided by 26 seven times this.

221
00:25:01,910 --> 00:25:05,780
So, yes. You're here, Professor.

222
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:12,890
The. He had the correct answer.

223
00:25:14,810 --> 00:25:18,800
Why is it a thousand times less unsolved than in a gas? What's the difference?

224
00:25:20,450 --> 00:25:23,450
What's the main difference when you solve the gas? That's it.

225
00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:26,740
So as solid as America has in terms of where it.

226
00:25:27,410 --> 00:25:33,800
So you can think of those as fundamental springs that are present and where there's a thousand times more of an earthquake.

227
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,600
So the question is just and in fact, this thing was discovered in the 1960s.

228
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:45,470
These people were destroyed and those are not there. There's a whole debate about it, but they were actually getting ripped apart from the inside.

229
00:25:45,770 --> 00:25:49,820
And so this is what was going on. You don't need to go to the second puzzle to do this.

230
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:57,560
You just need a couple of second pulses to demonstrate there's an air and there's a threshold is the process is higher.

231
00:25:58,670 --> 00:26:03,930
Okay. Now, okay. So what are the limits of the approach to the singularity?

232
00:26:03,950 --> 00:26:12,600
One of the people in the 1960s solved it by destroying the lasers, and then in the hallway with them, the second pulses you were getting,

233
00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:17,989
and I'm sure it was multiple times, they should probably have lunch in the laser rods in the 1960s,

234
00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:25,350
but in the in the 1990s it was totally ionisation or or multiple times.

235
00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:32,839
It doesn't matter. It's a hydraulic process and the intensity and that gives rise to three electrons in a polarised

236
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:38,420
ability of same thing and the index of a function that goes like this four or five times.

237
00:26:38,810 --> 00:26:43,580
But the susceptibility of the electrons of both as a delivery, which is, is negative.

238
00:26:44,030 --> 00:26:48,380
And so you get a negative addition to the unit instead of a positive rate.

239
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,130
So again, the same picture,

240
00:26:51,150 --> 00:26:58,010
these are profiles that face from the securitisation routeing experiments the other way that's pretty sharp in default the same.

241
00:26:58,010 --> 00:27:07,010
So both processes are operating and you get some kind of combination of self-focus and refocusing.

242
00:27:07,010 --> 00:27:09,860
And these two things are interplay and you get the same phenomenon.

243
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:14,780
Now the vortex thing comes in later when I explain how the whole thing comes together.

244
00:27:14,780 --> 00:27:22,190
So let's take a little break and I want to talk quickly about the response of air molecules.

245
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:27,040
And this is not just to highlight of interesting.

246
00:27:27,050 --> 00:27:31,580
This is in some of the details. It's just to say that this is these are measurements.

247
00:27:31,580 --> 00:27:38,720
These are a simulation. So the way that we look at this is that here's the time evolution, here's your space.

248
00:27:38,780 --> 00:27:44,569
This is the response of nitrogen molecules to an intense pulse.

249
00:27:44,570 --> 00:27:53,690
So this is the electrons that are the nitrogen molecules as a function of time, responding essentially instantaneously.

250
00:27:54,110 --> 00:28:00,620
And then a little later, the much of the nitrogen locals are talking to alignment with the driving electric field.

251
00:28:00,620 --> 00:28:13,760
This is a pump probe experiment, so a very short pulse, approximately 42 seconds in duration causes a strong up in the air and then that pulses off.

252
00:28:13,820 --> 00:28:17,900
And then there's a probe that monitors the entire response.

253
00:28:18,140 --> 00:28:27,379
So there's a probe response and then a delayed response. You can also do it with a probe into the particular orientation so that in this

254
00:28:27,380 --> 00:28:31,820
candle that allows us to extract some interesting stuff if you're interested,

255
00:28:31,820 --> 00:28:39,469
it's in these papers. But the point is that there is two timescales for molecule responses, a fast response and a slow response.

256
00:28:39,470 --> 00:28:48,770
This is instantaneous, isn't just it's just about electrons responding at any angle that the molecules are responding to the laser field.

257
00:28:49,070 --> 00:28:54,469
And then there's a slower response as the molecules light up due to the target,

258
00:28:54,470 --> 00:29:01,850
the induced polarisation by the start of the laser too, we can also measure ionisation.

259
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,249
So this is this is Krypton. So this is there's no molecular location here.

260
00:29:07,250 --> 00:29:13,100
And so basically we see an instantaneous response and remember that what we're actually measuring here,

261
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:18,470
I guess I didn't tell you what we're measuring is the index of refraction as a function of time in space.

262
00:29:18,890 --> 00:29:25,610
So this perturbation really goes like in leading order at this intensity, it goes like e squared or close, like the intensity.

263
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,910
So this is a way of measuring the intensity profile in space.

264
00:29:29,630 --> 00:29:37,280
Later in time, though, we're in a higher and higher intensity as we ionised so early in time, we get the same effect.

265
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,689
But then the last part of the pulse is shaved off and we generate electrons.

266
00:29:41,690 --> 00:29:47,450
So this is along the electron contribution to the index, the fraction that comes later.

267
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:57,410
Okay, so now let's get into all the important stuff.

268
00:29:57,770 --> 00:30:05,030
So one of the things that we did was the elements of the question, there was a history behind this,

269
00:30:05,330 --> 00:30:10,160
but I'm sort of repackaging it sort of as you tend to do in the slide.

270
00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:18,560
And so it's just the fact that you start thinking about is that after someone is long gone, what's its effect on the area?

271
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:27,770
And so from the point of view of all of the sort of physical constants of air and thermal conductivity and mass motion and all that stuff,

272
00:30:28,220 --> 00:30:31,760
the filament heating is like a double function.

273
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,109
You're making electrons very quickly, rotating molecules very quickly.

274
00:30:36,110 --> 00:30:43,700
All of these things are sources of energy. From the point of view of the gas is like a delta function application of energy density.

275
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:54,319
And so energy density is like pressure. But at all times it's no longer in the original form that you put it in and put it in.

276
00:30:54,320 --> 00:31:00,590
Initially was an organisation and electron density and molecular excitation.

277
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:09,439
If you waited too long to wait a few hundred picoseconds that all thought that there's recombination and then internalises turned to the gas.

278
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:17,899
So you can look at the gas as having a pressure profile at table zero where you basically equilibrate all the

279
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:23,930
energy going to be done from the centre second pulse and that that would actually do the pulse of pressure source.

280
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:31,969
And then the thing which is a celebration. So it's a delta of function pressure source and okay, this is important.

281
00:31:31,970 --> 00:31:35,450
It's relatively speaking, certainly typical plasma.

282
00:31:35,660 --> 00:31:40,010
A gas is a tiny neutral gas is a tiny little of activity.

283
00:31:40,010 --> 00:31:44,629
So it really maintains tight, real radio confinement of all that thermal energy.

284
00:31:44,630 --> 00:31:49,970
So it's not like as this equilibrium, the energy moves away, it pretty much sits on the same radio.

285
00:31:49,970 --> 00:31:55,760
So don't worry whether the filament dumped it, except it's now purely the pressure profile of the Mitchell gas.

286
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:58,129
And so this is what the illusion is.

287
00:31:58,130 --> 00:32:07,280
And the folks inside this room, they don't find themselves in a cold relative to simulate sort of a different problem,

288
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,719
but that's applicable as a hydrophone, which is this situation.

289
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:23,000
So we did an experiment, a simulation of what happens to the air by nanosecond and longer timescales after the Solar Inductance Energy.

290
00:32:23,420 --> 00:32:31,220
And it's very it really is of a delta function of pressure applications of constrained time at some profile and it launches, you know,

291
00:32:31,290 --> 00:32:35,870
within the air periodically it's one punch so you get a single serve the sound way leaving

292
00:32:36,140 --> 00:32:42,680
the air it's leaving and very interested there's the interest will come at this end.

293
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:49,549
But the most important thing is it wants to work because one is to notice this.

294
00:32:49,550 --> 00:32:54,470
This is a single cycle sound with the lever. And then once you get to the microsecond scale,

295
00:32:54,470 --> 00:33:00,680
what's left over is what we call a density called the depression that was pushed mass with the Soundwave.

296
00:33:00,950 --> 00:33:08,900
But then this all sits there and it dissipates over milliseconds because the thermal conductivity of air is low.

297
00:33:11,180 --> 00:33:15,620
So here's a point to go over here and do what I think you would do.

298
00:33:15,740 --> 00:33:19,370
You're just here's a movie. It's no, it's three.

299
00:33:21,930 --> 00:33:30,010
Very good. So that's just that's an experimental it's a sequence of frames that that previous slide was made made from.

300
00:33:30,610 --> 00:33:38,980
Okay. So the idea here, and I don't want to get into this whole experiment except to sort of set the stage with all their stuff.

301
00:33:39,370 --> 00:33:45,099
So the point here was because each one of these so that part of this,

302
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:50,919
if you wanted to make a teeny one and have each one of these guys for each one of

303
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:57,030
these would leave a hole in the gas density for milliseconds after the so on the left.

304
00:33:57,380 --> 00:34:02,920
And the idea is, well, maybe these things to fuse together. And that would have allowed in at a core.

305
00:34:03,010 --> 00:34:05,950
So the inside isn't affected at all that they have got sitting there.

306
00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:10,030
And then you get a core which is required, which is a lower density on the outside,

307
00:34:10,030 --> 00:34:15,489
and that is precisely the amount of the virus, except as an optimal vacuum in the air that lasts for milliseconds.

308
00:34:15,490 --> 00:34:22,120
So that's the setup. This was initially a poor man's way that I could see and one of the low income people who do optics,

309
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:30,849
you know, but this optical telescope, you can actually cut them with razor blades and have three stars.

310
00:34:30,850 --> 00:34:31,990
And it's amazing, actually,

311
00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:39,010
because you can throw their attention to be able to get the people to cut a couple of razor blades and turn them away and tell them the right way.

312
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,040
And you can put multiple five on the beam and then the focus this is a teeny one,

313
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:52,060
but it collapses of the filament and makes the waveguide that we injected with 100 times the energy from the opposite direction of the gods.

314
00:34:54,110 --> 00:34:57,400
Here's a movie of the process.

315
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,360
Maybe it'll cycle again. I don't know. There's no way of getting it there.

316
00:35:05,370 --> 00:35:11,360
So just the four of us right there. The cloud is on the other side. Yeah.

317
00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:31,549
Let me do it one more time. I don't know if you excited that early in time there was this red dot and that's when the satellites collided.

318
00:35:31,550 --> 00:35:36,110
So there's two places you can actually get a guiding structure when the sideways is alive in the centre.

319
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,410
Let's go again. Okay. And then later.

320
00:35:39,410 --> 00:35:43,640
That's on a nanosecond timescale. Then later you get it when you. Yeah, that's right.

321
00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:48,980
It's right there. So there's, there's the collision of the subway and later this thing develops.

322
00:35:50,800 --> 00:36:00,700
Okay. So this is just a demonstration of guidance that we got, and this is paper versus the paper, if you're interested.

323
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:04,450
But this was, I think 25 pages or something like that.

324
00:36:04,490 --> 00:36:08,950
It might have a number, but it's quite efficient, 75% efficiency.

325
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,700
And so that's the source of a lot of the experiments we're doing now.

326
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:19,490
And so the idea is to extend that that way so that I show it was about a metre reader.

327
00:36:19,550 --> 00:36:25,510
How long I forget exactly. I think it's about a metre, but now they're in the 50 metre moment to set something like that.

328
00:36:25,510 --> 00:36:33,610
So we need, we got the local guys in the drills to drill holes in our wall and we've got all the safety folks to sign off on this.

329
00:36:33,610 --> 00:36:41,560
We run this experiment the middle of the night and we put the laser pictures up everywhere, the police and the housekeepers and blah, blah, blah.

330
00:36:41,590 --> 00:36:45,069
That's all. It's all the all the documents are saying they're doing this.

331
00:36:45,070 --> 00:36:55,180
Right. And and so one of the fascinating things about all of this is that when you propagate metres away, you still have this structure.

332
00:36:55,420 --> 00:36:59,829
So this is a super continuous of a collapsed tier one property.

333
00:36:59,830 --> 00:37:07,570
You have one, one mode, but part of the super continuous generation process is massive formations, huge.

334
00:37:08,050 --> 00:37:13,670
So why do you still have these things separating fact we set up a parameter at the end of the rule.

335
00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:17,350
All these things are still surrounded by a single box. Why is this?

336
00:37:17,590 --> 00:37:21,840
So that told us. Well, we've got to find out what's going on inside the.

337
00:37:21,860 --> 00:37:28,509
So when we set up data for either the room or down the hallway so that it ended or it was just

338
00:37:28,510 --> 00:37:32,800
freely propagated and that's what we did in case we want a little bit in the middle of it.

339
00:37:32,890 --> 00:37:37,030
So this is we're seeing really very nice results.

340
00:37:37,030 --> 00:37:40,959
So there's no incentive to there. But okay, this is the motivated question.

341
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,290
So we did a bit of a detour. We were redeveloping a laser.

342
00:37:44,620 --> 00:37:52,570
We didn't have enough energy to go down all the way. So during the time we developed the laser, we decided to go after this question.

343
00:37:53,230 --> 00:37:58,030
And so we set up an experiment which would allow us to look inside of film.

344
00:37:58,660 --> 00:38:04,000
Now I'll show in the next slide how we do that in terms of the real world.

345
00:38:04,540 --> 00:38:14,560
But if you were to have an interface between air and helium and then the air ended abruptly and you would have the ideal situation as you would be.

346
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:20,290
So this is essentially the full blown linear process development.

347
00:38:20,980 --> 00:38:26,470
The m2 of air is high enough so the station.

348
00:38:26,950 --> 00:38:33,700
But then when you get to this interface, we encounter the atmosphere that's 20 times less than air.

349
00:38:34,030 --> 00:38:39,399
And the reason is that electrons are quiet by the time we want us to.

350
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,880
Electrons are not floppy, floppy spreaders. We need a time.

351
00:38:43,270 --> 00:38:51,879
So at this interface you can literally image everything that you collect at that, at that interface.

352
00:38:51,880 --> 00:39:00,410
So you collect the intensity and the phase. And so what we do downstream is we deliver that rather than just measure all the stuff.

353
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:09,040
Here's this, okay? You don't have to look at it too closely except to note the cell is the only answer.

354
00:39:09,730 --> 00:39:14,240
And here's the film. Some of it is it starts somewhere down here.

355
00:39:14,270 --> 00:39:19,900
It just propagates a couple of metres and this helium, so it terminates inside this nozzle.

356
00:39:20,230 --> 00:39:27,250
The way this works that we overpressure this slightly compared to the atmosphere and the helium just flows out very nicely and

357
00:39:27,250 --> 00:39:36,890
there's a couple of millimetre transition and then that nozzle and we've simulated that essentially it acts like an interface stop,

358
00:39:36,940 --> 00:39:40,000
start, stop. That's going to be so that's all good.

359
00:39:40,450 --> 00:39:48,009
And so what we do is we move the helium so up and down on this thing and we adjust the energy between zero and five individuals at each position.

360
00:39:48,010 --> 00:39:51,670
So we have a huge base space of filling that information.

361
00:39:51,940 --> 00:39:59,200
And I'm just going to show you part of it. But but wherever Filament exists, this stuff is is.

362
00:40:02,070 --> 00:40:07,620
The idea for this came from 2010 is now at Merrill Lynch, but he used it just for intensity purposes.

363
00:40:07,950 --> 00:40:12,509
We made it useful for Facebook profiles as well,

364
00:40:12,510 --> 00:40:17,159
and there's a lot of knowhow out there in terms of how we prepare the game using other

365
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:22,200
spacial filters before the compressor and others before and after the compressor.

366
00:40:22,210 --> 00:40:29,360
So means that there's something on here. Anyway, here's the here's the results at one particular position.

367
00:40:29,370 --> 00:40:38,759
So the human cell is 187 and we scan the laser energy between zero and ten units of critical.

368
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:45,030
I forget exactly what it is at that point, but you can see that at this magic place of five,

369
00:40:45,060 --> 00:40:51,630
incredible, it could have been 4.3 or 6.25 for this particular position.

370
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,220
You see a phase jumps of almost exactly to five.

371
00:40:56,260 --> 00:41:04,139
You just look at the red dots and several blue dots. But we've basically averaged over we have a moving average of several hundred shots over here.

372
00:41:04,140 --> 00:41:09,630
And this this is just scattered because we're going into a lot of problems and it's just that sensitive.

373
00:41:10,140 --> 00:41:14,799
And we see this everywhere in the film.

374
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:19,970
And so we could park at 120 and 120 this transition.

375
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,000
Then we actually have a higher peak as you're forcing it to collapse earlier.

376
00:41:24,870 --> 00:41:29,100
If we brought this to play farther away,

377
00:41:29,670 --> 00:41:35,130
then this transition would be a lower characteristic because it's allowed to propagate farther before it collapses.

378
00:41:35,610 --> 00:41:38,550
So this is a universal thing and there's a pipe to partition.

379
00:41:38,730 --> 00:41:44,430
Anyone who's done interferometry will say, well, is this just a phase on the right or something like that?

380
00:41:44,890 --> 00:41:48,450
Let's see what's not. So just keep this in mind.

381
00:41:49,140 --> 00:41:54,240
It's essential that we said, as we said, what's going on with that?

382
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:58,510
And we start to see simulations. We can see you're doing them simultaneous.

383
00:41:59,340 --> 00:42:04,590
And there was this thing that we had seen before and we didn't ask to understand what it was,

384
00:42:04,590 --> 00:42:08,040
but then we started getting this data and you know, these things sort of come together.

385
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,400
And it's also very powerful to have students who also considerations,

386
00:42:11,700 --> 00:42:17,309
people who are also doing simulations so that the communication pathways is very,

387
00:42:17,310 --> 00:42:20,790
very shortly after about three flights of stairs to talk to the theorists.

388
00:42:20,790 --> 00:42:26,400
And you're right there. So it was was a very fast convergence of understanding.

389
00:42:26,910 --> 00:42:30,360
And so this is a phase picture from the film.

390
00:42:30,420 --> 00:42:37,340
The propagation of the beam is going this way. So here's the intensity and there is the phase field.

391
00:42:37,350 --> 00:42:43,560
Does that occur? And there's phase circulation around this field right now.

392
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,640
People doing these kinds of simulations in this field really looked at the phase.

393
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:53,340
They just looked at this kind of thing. They were interested in the intensity of how intense you look at the phase.

394
00:42:53,340 --> 00:42:59,280
You see these structures and there is two pilot phase circulation around each one of these vortices.

395
00:42:59,730 --> 00:43:07,070
Where are these forces from? That's the question. And I'll talk about actually where these two guys come from with our first question.

396
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:14,190
There's actually another step. The simulation, again, is a moving window, but the pulse is a phase of moving.

397
00:43:16,650 --> 00:43:22,740
This shows them developing. And, you know, they go.

398
00:43:31,170 --> 00:43:35,040
Yeah. There's one coming here and there's another one that these two are going to annihilate.

399
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,300
See, that's the first time I used the word denial. We're going to have to explain what I mean by that.

400
00:43:39,780 --> 00:43:44,310
And and there's one that's right there. And this is some propaganda.

401
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:49,980
The false this all goes away. And then you have died and some guy with this thing attached to it.

402
00:43:50,280 --> 00:44:00,800
So what is going on? What is all this stuff? Okay, so here is a toy ball, which is a kinematic model at first glance.

403
00:44:00,810 --> 00:44:07,770
But but it really is a dynamic one because it has to be some physical substance that's that's driving this.

404
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,810
So just imagine that we have what I call a half plane.

405
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:20,570
So here's the plane for the planes. And imagine that the intensity down here is very low and the intensity above is dotted.

406
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:28,890
But that's dash. It is fine because the time of the motion of the plane and this thing's propagating from left to right.

407
00:44:29,580 --> 00:44:35,370
So after some distance that you're going to start getting a redshift, I should say.

408
00:44:35,370 --> 00:44:44,970
This is a nonlinear level pointed out before, which is proportional to the square of the concealed, but it accumulates over the propagation distance.

409
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:50,460
So with some propagation distance, you get reach out to the front, inclusive to the back,

410
00:44:51,150 --> 00:44:55,020
very little ship down here because remember that the square diagrams very well.

411
00:44:55,350 --> 00:44:58,589
You get a what's called an edge dislocation.

412
00:44:58,590 --> 00:45:05,969
You get to a place where there is a vibration and actually a lot and this was observed or discussed

413
00:45:05,970 --> 00:45:16,400
in some detail in this classic early paper where dislocations by variability and try to explain.

414
00:45:17,580 --> 00:45:21,660
So I think there's something in there because somehow something like that,

415
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:29,180
more sound waves and then you propagate a little farther and this thing splits into two.

416
00:45:29,190 --> 00:45:37,290
Now there's actually no first circulation here, but you go around here, there's two parts minus two, five circulation plus two primary circulation.

417
00:45:37,710 --> 00:45:41,340
So the phase gradient integrated over the top gives to five.

418
00:45:41,340 --> 00:45:50,680
Here is a plus or minus one. And these have so called typological charges and forecast with a to kind of an index of energy.

419
00:45:51,150 --> 00:45:59,970
So this thing in the development of this edge, this location gives rise to the plus or minus one of all again.

420
00:46:00,030 --> 00:46:06,800
So again, this appears to be kinematic but it's really dynamic is something is giving rise to dispersion some material the.

421
00:46:08,540 --> 00:46:12,159
Here's a simulation of our pulse.

422
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,280
So this is our simulation that comes later.

423
00:46:15,290 --> 00:46:19,760
This is a fluid simulation. So here's the pulse propagating.

424
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:26,510
It starts the cell focus picks up at the centre, it starts it's a runaway process, so it picks up even more.

425
00:46:27,260 --> 00:46:32,690
And then it starts by analysing the gas and there's more force,

426
00:46:32,690 --> 00:46:37,190
even more phase slippage between the space that is going on between the centre and the outside.

427
00:46:37,190 --> 00:46:42,080
So you can think of this to happen to play with the low intensity part of the star intensity bar.

428
00:46:42,500 --> 00:46:48,210
And then another dose right here and this is a little refraction to the intensity.

429
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,520
This continues at the bottom. So you don't show the more.

430
00:46:55,740 --> 00:47:03,270
Detailed simulations here. This is basically the same instead of just looking at the full being cross-section.

431
00:47:03,690 --> 00:47:09,190
So this is phase and this is intensity. What we're doing here is we're following a plane.

432
00:47:09,210 --> 00:47:12,230
This is a plane moving with the pulse.

433
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:16,800
And we know having done the simulation where the null is going to appear.

434
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,960
So we're just following that plane from the beginning and then seeing what happens.

435
00:47:21,970 --> 00:47:26,730
We know it's actually the real world here at that plane. So initially we have a Gaussian being going it.

436
00:47:26,970 --> 00:47:34,980
So this is the log of the capsule. It starts to focus on this peaks up and then you start developing this field.

437
00:47:34,980 --> 00:47:44,220
Now, when you have a phase zero between the inside and suddenly there's the phase development, pretty flat phase inside of what's called the core.

438
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:49,080
We're going to call that region inside this. No, that is the core of the region outside the periphery.

439
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,080
And a little later, you get this.

440
00:47:53,100 --> 00:47:55,080
So this shifts very rapidly.

441
00:47:55,770 --> 00:48:02,940
And as the vortex starts to move and now it goes completely out of the supplied coffee and it looks like it's out of focus.

442
00:48:03,270 --> 00:48:11,640
So there's a lot of very fine action taking place basically in in this region right here.

443
00:48:13,860 --> 00:48:18,210
Okay. This is data. So this is experimental data.

444
00:48:18,750 --> 00:48:21,990
And this is for one particular value of the field.

445
00:48:22,650 --> 00:48:29,970
So we're parked. We're near where the collapse occurs at the peak of the picture at 4.4.

446
00:48:30,660 --> 00:48:36,130
And we see a range of different behaviours. We see something where it has collapsed.

447
00:48:36,510 --> 00:48:42,010
The slight fluctuations in laser intensity are affecting whether it collapses or not.

448
00:48:42,030 --> 00:48:45,759
Severe intensity phase. Nothing exciting here.

449
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:55,379
It's collapsed. And we see a now and the phase here is pi here we see around it all in the phase.

450
00:48:55,380 --> 00:49:00,300
Here is why this part in the phase difference between here and here is too violent.

451
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:13,260
Now, people who have done the phase extraction interference have occasionally encountered the field of phase of the universe.

452
00:49:13,530 --> 00:49:15,809
And so we wanted to verify that this is not a phase.

453
00:49:15,810 --> 00:49:24,180
And so we did a of a measurement essentially of the phase transition between the periphery of the core,

454
00:49:24,420 --> 00:49:28,050
which we're going to find to be inside the outside of the cradle.

455
00:49:28,260 --> 00:49:34,820
And this is just a smooth change between the background and the inside of the of the dark.

456
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,490
So it's always inside versions of the outside of the inside.

457
00:49:38,490 --> 00:49:42,000
It's always a partnership publication between these two.

458
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:48,870
It's a two part threshold. So that is basically the measurement of the vortex.

459
00:49:49,170 --> 00:50:00,930
Now, we've done simulations that also are so that we can calculate the point and character in the frame of the moving pulse.

460
00:50:01,260 --> 00:50:03,089
And it is very interesting.

461
00:50:03,090 --> 00:50:11,040
It depends on the radio phase at all in two dimensions in this space like dimension, and then the dynamic dimension and the final dimension.

462
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,850
It depends on the media, the loss of exposure.

463
00:50:15,210 --> 00:50:21,420
So I'll start with our case of error because data is so small, but it is proportional to the gas density.

464
00:50:21,420 --> 00:50:24,450
So this term is actually quite small. This is what it looks like.

465
00:50:24,450 --> 00:50:27,959
So ahead of the pulse. So here's this is the outer.

466
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,320
This is the axis of the mean. This is, by the way, the galaxies.

467
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,050
There's energy getting sucked in. This is the cell focusing.

468
00:50:34,530 --> 00:50:42,030
And this is the default in the vortex, basically is the self-consistent structure, which is basically described.

469
00:50:42,030 --> 00:50:46,980
And you can say, well, it's describing the focusing of the refocusing, but once it gets going,

470
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:52,550
it actually starts to dominate the energy flow of the focus energy this focusing.

471
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:58,950
So this is our case in here and in a plasma that's dense enough, there's negative changes.

472
00:50:58,950 --> 00:51:02,870
So you can show that that sort of disturbance starts to dominate.

473
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:07,590
So it picks up the vectors just to go up and down sideways as well.

474
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,720
And it spirals this way and in a positive energy and sounds.

475
00:51:13,050 --> 00:51:20,310
We've done these measurements recently and last and verify that this is this is this is happening to us.

476
00:51:21,210 --> 00:51:29,580
Okay. So for a forward this is this is a rapidly converging one.

477
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,120
And so let me quickly speed up.

478
00:51:33,390 --> 00:51:35,910
Here's the solar wind collapse where the wind collapsed.

479
00:51:36,060 --> 00:51:45,700
And one can describe the that basically like this is an impulse which has an intensity where the location of the vortex is focusing on the front deep,

480
00:51:45,780 --> 00:51:50,280
focusing on the back. And this is that this structure is propagating with it.

481
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,160
So the question really is how important is this thing? Is this just a matter?

482
00:51:54,310 --> 00:51:59,760
That is a description of what we're doing for three eight or is it some dynamically important object?

483
00:52:01,290 --> 00:52:03,570
We believe it's a dynamically important object.

484
00:52:03,810 --> 00:52:14,640
We've done simulations in that area, but I'm going to show you simulations in all in plasmas that sort of reinforce this.

485
00:52:14,910 --> 00:52:20,520
So relativistic filaments, what is the source of the nonlinear relativistic system?

486
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:26,100
That is really nothing of the driven electronic speed to the speed of light.

487
00:52:26,550 --> 00:52:36,570
So that means that the sinusoidal oscillation of the electrons are more rounded off or reduced in just a simple minded view of this.

488
00:52:37,050 --> 00:52:42,810
And this gives rise to a nonlinearity which is scale in the same way as it does with electrons,

489
00:52:43,770 --> 00:52:49,380
and it also scales inverse to the fourth power of the laser driver,

490
00:52:49,650 --> 00:52:57,780
which makes CO2 lasers, for instance, very interesting for this kind of thing and then for the mid-range as well.

491
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:04,220
So here's a picture of the simulation, and many of you are familiar with the cell phone TV.

492
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:08,640
So we simulated this in to the lab geometry.

493
00:53:08,690 --> 00:53:15,390
This was three groups. One of those was, I guess from the material was a very complicated idea to do this.

494
00:53:15,780 --> 00:53:25,760
But here's a laser pulse moving through a hole in ionised hydrogen gas and it cell focussed in a generator farther away.

495
00:53:25,770 --> 00:53:36,750
So this thing collapsed under a lot of pressure generating these plasma and crests in the middle class before it starts to accelerate and beam.

496
00:53:37,350 --> 00:53:40,560
And we're going to examine this thing in a little more detail.

497
00:53:40,860 --> 00:53:48,630
And when you do, just that will fly on the field for the purposes of this display, you get this dislocation.

498
00:53:49,470 --> 00:53:53,280
So the question is, is it important? It's there. Is it important?

499
00:53:54,120 --> 00:54:00,420
Certainly. It's really an elevator. And transport is about 80% of the spectrum of your life field.

500
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,200
That is potentially lower, but is limited by our simulation.

501
00:54:04,950 --> 00:54:11,480
So here's the novel and we're going to now again, is this mathematically just something out of the hundreds and important?

502
00:54:11,490 --> 00:54:16,280
Well, there's 40% of the energy outside the location of it all radially.

503
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,790
So it's a significant amount of laser energy. So I've just suspected it's there.

504
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,409
What does it do? Well, propagates a little farther and here you go.

505
00:54:25,410 --> 00:54:33,180
We've got the plus and minus one phase circulation is two pi farther.

506
00:54:33,660 --> 00:54:38,490
The minus one is left so that the simulation went up, the minus one went backwards.

507
00:54:39,060 --> 00:54:43,440
And the here's the plus one of propagation loss.

508
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:53,010
And now here it is in 3D. That was a slab geometry in three D that first appears at some location.

509
00:54:53,010 --> 00:55:02,370
It's off axis, possibly due to some distant numerical thing, maybe feels a little higher there after some of the propagation.

510
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,600
And then so the block is the location of the field.

511
00:55:07,260 --> 00:55:13,140
And I'm just advancing this. It just grows. And eventually, if you get a minus one, that leads to the plus one in forward.

512
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,040
So even in the 3D case, you get this situation. Now, how important is this?

513
00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:28,460
We did a simulation where we set up a very high density plugging along the path of the relativistic wave self guided impulse.

514
00:55:28,470 --> 00:55:34,920
So here's the location in a that this is the is the main part of the laser pulse energy blocked the

515
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:41,910
stone block this we're testing this big cloud of electron density and slowly it just it just goes away.

516
00:55:43,740 --> 00:55:50,520
On the next one, we lost everything, but we left the stone on the outside go by.

517
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:57,900
And this thing reforms that stream. So this is our evidence so far that it's just a spectator,

518
00:55:57,900 --> 00:56:07,320
but it's really a switch or pointing flow that is robust enough to reform the propagation structure.

519
00:56:08,490 --> 00:56:18,770
So let me conclude and I think the most important thing to me is that self guide is synonymous with these vortices.

520
00:56:19,470 --> 00:56:23,190
There they are to both lenses.

521
00:56:23,190 --> 00:56:27,570
So consistency to the overall field structure.

522
00:56:28,570 --> 00:56:34,379
And I would go beyond that and say that they're robust enough to actually control

523
00:56:34,380 --> 00:56:40,620
the fate of any of the solar panels and then various other things and then some,

524
00:56:40,620 --> 00:56:49,919
some fairly motivated because we're still thinking about this set of applications for these these kinds of orders.

525
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,640
And so you can ask about those very same answers.

526
00:56:55,220 --> 00:56:57,420
That's it. Thank you.
