The time history of subsequent tunneled wave packets can represent a more meaningful way to describe signal evolutions and to determine the group delay than the detection of a demodulated monopulse envelope. In the present experimental research, the delay of transmitted tunneled packets was found to be shorter than that measurable in vacuum, in good agreement with the phase time and Esposito's equation and independent of the barrier length. The wave packets did not show narrowing and “reshaping,” so these phenomena did not appear to be the reason of the short delay experienced. The latter was not found to be proportional to the amplitude of the incident signal.

Abstract
The time history of subsequent tunneled wave packets can represent a more meaningful way to describe signal evolutions and to determine the group delay than the detection of a demodulated monopulse envelope. In the present experimental research, the delay of transmitted tunneled packets was found to be shorter than that measurable in vacuum, in good agreement with the phase time and Esposito's equation and independent of the barrier length. The wave packets did not show narrowing and “reshaping,” so these phenomena did not appear to be the reason of the short delay experienced. The latter was not found to be proportional to the amplitude of the incident signal.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
