Probing background ionization: Positive streamers with varying pulse repetition rate and with a radioactive admixture [PDF]
, 2011 Positive streamers need a source of free electrons ahead of them to propagate. A streamer can supply these electrons by itself through photo-ionization, or the electrons can be present due to external background ionization.

Frequency‐swept high‐repetition rate optical source [PDF]
Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 2020 AbstractWe propose and numerically validate an all‐optical scheme to generate optical pulse trains with varying temporal pulse‐to‐pulse delay and pulse duration. Our simulations confirm that applying a temporal sinusoidal phase modulation followed by a shaping of the spectral phase is efficient to maintain high‐quality Gaussian temporal profiles.
