DDS function generator

A direct digital synthesizer (DDS), 20-MH¥function generator, the Model 1404A, features high spectral purity. The waveform source is designed for testing and characterization of communications products and components for wireless or conventional applications. Simplicity allows operation using only one knob and nine keys. Sinewave and TTL squarewave are available simultaneously.

Large-scale simulations demonstrate that chaos is responsible for stochastic heating of dense plasma by intense laser energy. This image shows a snapshot of electron distribution phase space (position/momentum) from the dense plasma taken from PIC simulations, illustrating the so-called 'stretching and folding' mechanism responsible for the emergence of chaos in physical systems.
