Physicist Highlights Strange Reflection Behavior in Nonlinear Amplifier
Original: This clearly looks like everything is under control o.O So this is the reflection coefficient of a nonlinear amplifier u
A physicist has shared a plot showing the reflection coefficient of a nonlinear amplifier under a large incident signal, plotted as a function of phase, noting that the behavior looks far from tame. The reaction, even from the researcher, is that the system's response is strikingly complicated. The point being made is that beyond leading-order effects, there is still much to learn and understand about how such amplifiers behave at high signal levels.
Why now: The surprising, counterintuitive plot of a well-known physics quantity behaving unexpectedly is being shared with the science communication community.

Evidence
- This clearly looks like everything is under control o.O So this is the reflection coefficient of a nonlinear amplifier under large incident signal as a function of the phase. Obviously, there is yet a lot to be learned and understood beyond the leading order effects here. #… · Quantensalat@scicomm.xyz · 5
