چکیده
The paper is devoted to the theory of eigen electromagnetic waves propagating across the axis of symmetry in waveguides with a non-circular cross-section. The case of waveguides filled with isotropic cold plasma is studied theoretically. Plasma particles motion is described in fluid approximation; expressions for the waves’ fields are derived from Maxwell equations. Cross-section of the studied waveguide is modeled by Fourier series with coefficients, which values are less than unity. This allows one to apply method of successive approximations for analytical research of this problem. Boundary conditions, which are formulated in non-linear form over the small parameters of the problem have been applied for derivation the dispersion equations, which determine frequency spectrum of these surface waves for waveguides of different constructions. Studied eigen electromagnetic waves propagate in the form of wave packets, which are approximately described by the main azimuthal harmonic and two nearest satellite spatial harmonics. Represented results have been obtained both analytically and numerically. Possible spheres of the studied eigen waves are discussed.

Cyclotron Waves in a Nonneutral Plasma Column
A kinetic theory of linear electrostatic plasma waves with frequencies near the cyclotron frequency Ωcs of a given plasma species s is developed for a multispecies nonneutral plasma column with general radial density and electric field profiles. Terms in the perturbed distribution function up to O(1/Ωcs) are kept, as are the effects of finite cyclotron radius rc up to O(r 2 c ). At this order t...
متن کاملExcitation of Azimuthal Surface Waves in Toroidal Waveguide by Rotating Electron Beam at the Range of Electron Cyclotron Resonance
Azimuthal Surface Waves (ASWs) are electromagnetic waves of the surface type, which propagate across an external steady magnetic field in plasma filled metal waveguides. The interaction between extraordinary ASWs and an electron beam that rotates along Larmor orbits in the gap between the plasma column and the metal wall is studied here. The initial stage of the ASW excitation is studied analyt...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF PURE SHEAR ON THE REFLECTION OF PLANE WAVES AT THE BOUNDARY OF AN ELASTIC HALF-SPACE
This paper is concerned with the effect of pure shear on the reflection from a plane boundary of infinitesimal plane waves propagating in a half-space of incompressible isotropic elastic material. For a special class of constitutive laws it is shown that an incident plane harmonic wave propagating in the considered plane gives rise to a surface wave in addition to a reflected wave (with angle o...
متن کاملPlasmonic crystal waveguides
We study the properties of electromagnetic waves propagating along the waveguides with a periodic core created by alternating metal and dielectric layers, the so-called quasi-one-dimensional plasmonic crystal waveguides. Such waveguides can be symmetric or asymmetric, depending on the cladding or substrate material properties, as well as on the termination of the periodic structure. We analyze ...
متن کاملNumerical interaction of boundary waves with perfectly matched layers in elastic waveguides
Perfectly matched layers (PML) are a novel technique to simulate the absorption of waves in open domains. Wave propagation in isotropic elastic waveguides has the possibility to support propagating modes with negative group velocities and long wavelengths. Propagating modes with negative group velocities can lead to temporally growing solutions in the PML. In this paper, we demonstrate that neg...
