Modeling of the final jump phase of a positive lightning leader
N. I. Petrov, G. N. Petrova
Behavior of the potential and electric field intensity at the front of a lightning leader channel taking into account the influence of space charges injected by the streamers is in…
Electromagnetic fields created by the lightning leader channel in the final jump phase
N. I. Petrov, G. N. Petrova
The dependences between the parameters of the Lightning discharge in the leader phase and the return stroke phase are obtained. It is shown that the peak values of the electric fie…
Non-invariance of the speed of light in free-space
N. I. Petrov
A plane monochromatic wave propagates in vacuum at the velocity of c. However, wave packets limited in space and time are used to transmit energy and information. Here it has been…
Left-right asymmetry in an optical nanofiber
N. I. Petrov
Symmetry breaking effect for left- and right-handed circularly polarized light beams propagating in a rotationally symmetric graded-index optical fiber is presented. It is shown th…
Reflection and transmission of light at a curved interface: coherent state approach
Nikolai I. Petrov
Phase-space procedure based on coherent state representation is proposed for investigation of reflection and transmission of light beams at a curved dielectric boundary. Numerical…
