How to open new browser window in intern js?

I am automating the UI test of my application. There are some cases when i want my test script to close the current browser and and run next test by opening new browser. The problem is that I am unable to figure out how to open new browser window in intern. remote.get(URL) doesn't do what i want to do here. Can someone please help.

I have updated my question to include code as well. My question is pretty much straight forward though. How to open new browser window using intern from inside test ?. though if you want to see the code please comment, I will write it down . Thanks.

        // in tests/functional/index.js
 define([
 'intern!object',
'intern/chai!assert',
'Automation/ConfigFiles/dataurl',
'Automation/pages/login/loginpage',
'intern/dojo/node!fs',
'intern/dojo/node!leadfoot/helpers/pollUntil'
  ], function (registerSuite, assert, dataurl, LoginPage, fs, pollUntil) {
registerSuite(function () {
    var loginPage;
    var values;
    return {
        setup: function () {
            var data = fs.readFileSync(loginpage, 'utf8');
            json = JSON.parse(data);
            values = json.values;
            loginPage = new LoginPage(this.remote, json.locator);
            return this.remote
           .get(require.toUrl(json.locator.URL)).setFindTimeout(60000000000).sleep(5000)
        },

        beforeEach:function() {
           // here i want to open new window

        },

        'valid loginname lands to password page':function () {
            loginPage.submitLoginName(values.unamevalue);
            loginPage.isPasswordPageDisplayed().then(function(isPasswordPageDisplayed) {
                assert.true(isPasswordPageDisplayed, 'password page is not displayed, Invalid Login name');
            })
        },

        'successful login': function () {   
            loginPage
                .login(values.unamevalue, values.pwdvalue)
            loginPage.isLoginSuccess().then(function (loginSuccess) {
                assert.isTrue(loginSuccess, 'Login Failed');
            });
        },
        afterEach: function () {
            return this.remote.closeCurrentWindow()
        }
    };
  });
});

You can open a new window with window.open. The trick is that you want to run that command in the remote browser. Intern (technically Leadfoot) gives you two methods for doing that on this.remote: execute and executeAsync. For example, to simply open a new window, you could do:

this.remote.execute(function () {
    window.open();
})

Once you've opened a new window, you need to switch to it to interact with it. A script might look something like:

var windowHandles;
this.remote
    .getAllWindowHandles()
    .then(function (handles) {
        windowHandles = handles;
    })
    .execute(function () { window.open() })
    .sleep(500)
    .getAllWindowHandles()
    .then(function (handles) {
        // compare the new handles to windowHandles to figure out which
        // is the new window, then switch to it
        return this.remote.switchToWindow(newWindowHandle);
    })

    .get('some_new_url')
    // rest of test
