Abstract:
The development of new methods for generating pulsed electromagnetic microwave radiation is currently an actively developing area of research. Schemes for microwave radiation generation with optical pumping are of great interest. In this paper we propose and experimentally demonstrate principally new method for photonic generation of microwave electromagnetic radiation. This method is based on the use of radiation of charged submicron particles oscillating at their own acoustic frequency. Laser radiation of the optical range implements an effective buildup of acoustic vibrations of submicron particles forming the system under study, according to the Raman mechanism.

Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the medium, μ.
