Aliquots (20 mL, n = 5, for each fluence, power and emission mode) of bacterial suspensions (108 cells/mL) were exposed, at room temperature and under white light (fluorescent lamps), to low-intensity red and near-infrared laser light (0.00785 [cm.sup.2] beam diameter) at various fluences (25, 50, and 100 J/[cm.sup.2], corresponding to 0.7, 1.5, and 2.8 J, respectively), and powers (30, 50, and 100 mW) in continuous wave and pulsed emission modes (10, 30, and 100 pulses/s).
Exelis (NYSE: XLS) said it has received a follow-on contract valued at USD8.4m from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company (NYSE: LMT) to supply continuous wave illuminator subsystems for F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft.
However, very few works were conducted on the effects of freestream pulse wave on hypersonic flow and boundary layer stability characteristic, whereas the interactions between freestream pulse wave and hypersonic flow as well as boundary layer are rather different from freestream continuous wave. Thus, the evolution mechanism of boundary layer disturbance wave and stability characteristic for the action of freestream continuous disturbance is rather different from pulse wave.
