Total absorption of an electromagnetic wave by an overdense plasma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show both theoretically and experimentally that an electromagnetic wave can be totally absorbed by an overdense plasma when a subwavelength diffraction grating is placed in front of the plasma surface. The absorption is due to dissipation of surface plasma waves (plasmons polaritons) that have been resonantly excited by the evanescent component of the diffracted electromagnetic wave. The developed theoretical model allows one to determine the conditions for the total absorption.

Transparency 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 کاملElectromagnetic Wave Transmission across a Thin Plasma Layer Comparable to Incident Wavelength
The transmission of electromagnetic waves across a thin plasma layer whose width is comparable to the wavelength of an incident wave is studied. The transmittances of transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes for both underdense and overdense plasmas are obtained as a function of the angle of incidence. It is thought that the significant reduction of transmittance in overdense plasma’s ...

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 th...

Magnetically confined plasma can be heated with high power microwave sources. In spherical torus the electron plasma frequency exeeds the electron cyclotron frequency (EC) and, as a consequence, electromagnetic waves at fundamental and low harmonic EC cannot propagate within the plasma. In contrast, electron Bernstein waves (EBWs) readily propagate in spherical torus plasma and are absorbed str...
