Mutual phase locking of a coupled laser diode-Gunn diode pair
Mutual phase locking has been achieved through series connection of a semiconductor laser and a Gunn diode oscillator. Experimental results obtained demonstrate a mutual interaction between the two os...

Spatially resolved electric field measurements in the cathode fall region of a glow discharge are performed using optogalvanic detection of He Rydberg atoms. The large linear Stark effect of Rydberg levels provides an accurate, sensitive measure of discharge electric fields. Applied Physics Letters is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.
