Transparency of overdense plasma with V shape density profile

Authors

Abstract:

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 inhomogeneity of the plasma allows us to naturally establish the conditions by considering a specific shape for the geometry of the density profile. Within this profile, the density linearly grows up from the both sides of the slab and the corresponding dielectric permittivity simultaneously gains negative value. We obtain the exact solutions of the wave equations inside the plasma and study the conditions for the high transparency. The transmission losses due to the collision effects are also discussed.

Towards efficient generation of attosecond pulses from overdense plasma targets

Theoretical studies and computer simulations predict efficient generation of attosecond electromagnetic pulses from overdense plasma targets, driven by relativistically strong laser pulses. These predictions need to be validated in time resolved experiments in order to provide a route for applications. The first available femtosecond sources for these experiments are likely to be 10 fs pulses o...

Total absorption of an electromagnetic wave by an overdense plasma.

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 dev...

Sensor for plasma density profile measurement in magnetic fusion machine

A method is presented for the measurement of the electron density in an experimental plasma fusion device by means of microwave reflectometry. Since microwaves with increasing frequency can penetrate deeper into the plasma, it is possible to sample the electron density distribution by frequency-sweep techniques. For the first time the system allows a non-contact measurement of the electron dens...
