When a radio -
frequency electric pulse is applied to one end of such a tube (Anderson and Alexeff use fluorescent lamps), the energy from the pulse ionizes the gas inside to produce a plasma.

For instance, using light
pulses of a precisely controlled waveform, physicists aim to switch
electric currents in electronics circuits with light
frequencies.
The chip also converts the crystal's
electric pulses to the slower
frequencies needed to drive the hands of the watch.
Among other achievements, his group has used the response of electrons to measure the
electric field of a laser's ultrashort
pulses and display the waveform, much like displaying a radio -
frequency wave on an oscilloscope.
