Temporal Development and Properties of an Overdense Plasma Produced by High Power Microwaves in a Coaxial Discharge Device
نویسنده
چکیده
A coaxial plasma-waveguide-system exhibits strong absorption near its dipole resonance. Due to the plasmaguide-mode overdense plasmas can be generated in this device. Ionization dynamics and properties of this discharge are investigated by means of different diagnostic methods; the results are compared with analytical calculations of the dispersion relation in the plasma-waveguide-system. In this way the occurrence of nonlinear absorption mechanisms in presence of strong microwave fields is examined.

متن کاملTransparency of overdense plasma with V shape density profile
In this study, we investigate the transparency of an overdense inhomogeneous plasma slab. This anomalous transmission is achieved when the conditions provided for the incident electromagnetic wave to excite coupled surface waves on the both sides of the slab. These conditions require that the homogeneous overdense plasma, or the metallic film, is placed between two dielectric layers. Here, the ...
متن کاملHigh power microwaves at 9 GHz from an extended length cavity in a coaxial beam geometry
Experiment and simulation demonstrate high power microwave generation at 9 GHz using a 9-cm-diam, 44%keV, 7-kA annular electron beam. The beam is propagated in a coaxial drift tube between inner and outer conductors, a configuration which increases the available beam current and reduces the surface fields from existing high power sources. The microwave interaction is provided by an extended len...
متن کاملEnergy Balance and Gas Thermalization in a High Power Microwave Discharge in Mixtures
The dynamics of fast gas heating in a high power microwave discharge in air, is investigated in the framework of FDTD simulations of the Maxwell equations coupled with the fluid simulations of the plasma. It is shown that, an ultra-fast gas heating of the order of several 100 Kelvins occurs in less than 100 ns. The main role in the heating is played by the electron impact dissociation of , diss...
