Electromagnetic Environment Associated with Lightning Strikes to Tall Strike Objects

Seyed Abbas Mosaddeghi

The study of the lightning interaction with tall strike objects has attracted considerable attention of lightning researchers lately. Many lightning measurements including current and associated electromagnetic fields were recently made all over the globe ...

On the Measurement and Calculation of Horizontal Electric Fields From Lightning

Marcos Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory

In this paper, we discuss two issues related to the measurement and calculation of the horizontal electric fields from lightning. On the one hand, there is an inherent difficulty inmeasuring the horizontal electric field component from lightning because of ...

On Chip Plasmonic Monopole Nano-Antennas and Circuits

Hatice Altug

Analogues of many radio frequency (RF) antenna designs such as the half-wave dipole and Yagi-Uda have been successfully adapted to the optical frequency regime, opening the door for important advances in biosensing, photodetection, and emitter control. Exa ...

Lightning Electromagnetic Fields at Very Close Distances Associated with Lightning Strikes to the Gaisberg Tower

Marcos Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello, Pierre Zweiacker, Abdolhamid Shoory, Seyed Abbas Mosaddeghi

In this paper we present and discuss measurements of electric (vertical and radial) and magnetic fields from leaders and return strokes associated with lightning strikes to the 100 m tall Gaisberg tower in Austria obtained in 2007 and 2008. The fields were ...

Optical Wire Antennas

In this thesis we study the properties of optical wire antennas. As experimental method for our investigations we use apertureless near-field optical microscopy. This technique achieves high spatial resolution well beyond the diffraction limit by utilizing ...

Analytical Expressions for Zero-Crossing Times in Lightning Return-Stroke Engineering Models

Marcos Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory

One of the characteristic features of the electromagnetic fields radiated by lightning is the far-field inversion of polarity with a zero-crossing occurring in the tens of microseconds range. This feature has been used in several studies to test the abilit ...

Enhancement and subwavelength confinement of light in plasmonic nanostructures

Holger Fischer

This work includes the fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures as well as the investigation of their optical properties in the near-field and in the farfield. As expressed in the title of this thesis the focus lies in the subwavelength confinement and enha ...

Lightning return stroke current radiation in presence of a conducting ground: 2. Validity assessment of simplified approaches

In this paper, the developed formulation, which we shall call the “reference” one, is used to assess the validity of the most popular simplified approach for the calculation of the lightning electromagnetic field over a conducting earth, namely, the Cooray ...

2008

The study of the interaction of lightning electromagnetic fields with electrical systems and the design of appropriate protection strategies are generally based on statistical distributions of the lightning current measured at the channel base using either ...
