Another concept related to the results above are as follows.
I was considering the difference between the characteristics of Rayleigh wave velocities through a medium (X such as a dense plasma), or longitudinal sound wave velocities through a medium (Y such as the low density atmosphere earth).
The main difference between these two different types of waves that caught my eye is that Rayleigh wave velocities through a given medium are a function of the mediums depth and the "frequency" of the Rayleigh wave itself. Transverse waves, Longitudinal waves, and most other types of waves velocity value is independant of those waves frequencies, unlike the special case of Rayleigh waves. Yet, theoretically, all types of waves, including Rayleigh waves, are subject to Dr. Ivanov's lively standing wave interference patterns, which is a universal wave phenomenon. The idea is that if one were to use two Chirp pulse laser transmissions to superpose two Opposite vector Rayleigh chirp signals into a dense plasma that conducts Rayleigh type wave, the velocity of the higher frequency portion of each transmission would travel faster through the plasma, then the lower frequency transmission. If everything were set up correctly, the higher frequency portion of each laser transmission would catch up to the lower frequency portion of the each laser transmission, and all waves within each transmission would "pile up" eventually leading to a single huge pulse within the dense plasma.
Now suppose that one were to set up two lasers as follows:
laser 1, at one end of the plasma chamber were to emit a high frequency laser transmission that decreases in frequency continsuously to a lower frequency laser transmission as time passes.
laser 2 at the other end of the plasma chamber emits a low frequency laser transmission that increases frequency continuously to a higher frequency laser transmission as time passes.
The two laser transmissions meet and interact in the plasma to form "lively standing Rayleigh waves" interference pattern. However; as the frequency of laser 1 is decompressed and the frequency of laser 2 compressed over time, each laser lights' transmission is conducted by the plasma at different phase velocities in such a way as to pile up not only the two laser transmissions into a pulse, but also the "lively standing Rayleigh wave" is piled up into one highly amplified directional energy pulse that would manifest as an extremely powerful laser induced plasma shock-wave that is far more powerful then the same lively standing wave interference patterns would induce in the other types of waves (e.i. transverse, longitudinal,...etc).
If so, then such a concept may have applications in propulsion.
What do you think?
