Analysis of the reflection of electromagnetic waves in an unsteady moving magnetized plasma slab

The reflection index of an unsteady moving magnetized plasma slab irradiated by an electromagnetic wave is investigated. The direction of the external magnetic field is parallel to the plasma surface and the electromagnetic wave is normally incident on a gas slab and produces the plasma. This gas slab is being ionized by another source and the density of the mentioned unsteady plasma increases with time. The effects of the density growth rate, velocity, thickness of the plasma slab, and the external magnetic field on the reflection index are simulated.     

Transverse or off-axis localization of electromagnetic waves in random one- and two-dimensional dielectric systems which are periodic on average

We study the transverse or off-axis localization of electromagnetic waves for several different random dielectric systems which are periodic on average. Unlike previous scalar wave treatments of transverse localization, in the present work we present results based on a full vector treatment of the electromagnetic fields based on Maxwell's equations. In a first system, we consider a random semi-infinite array of slabs with plane waves or finite beams of electromagnetic waves obliquely incident on the slab surfaces. The localization of the fields in a region near the surface of illumination is studied as a function of the oblique angle of incidence. In a second system, an array of semi-infinite slabs with random thickness is considered with an incident finite beam of electromagnetic waves initially directed parallel to the slab surfaces. The spreading of the beam width is computed as it propagates through the array of semi-infinite slabs. In a final system, we consider a semi-infinite array of random dielectric rods (2D system) with obliquely incident plane waves. The localization length of the plane-wave fields is computed as a function of the oblique angle of incidence and as a function of the strength of the disorder of the dielectric medium. All the random media we consider, when averaged over their randomness, are periodic on average. The above systems are studied for both p- and s-polarizations of incident electromagnetic waves, and the difference in the transverse localization of the electromagnetic field for these two polarizations is determined.     

A comparative study of the reflectivity of binary and ternary one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals for obliquely incident electromagnetic wave

In present paper the reflectivity of binary and ternary one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals for obliquely incident electromagnetic waves are studied. The reflectivity is derived using transfer matrix method and solving Maxwell’s equations by employing the continuity conditions on the electric fields and its derivatives. Our analysis shows that the perfect reflection bands get enhanced in the ternary 1D-PPCs compared to the binary 1D-PPCs. Also the ternary 1D-PPCs provide an additional degree of freedom to control the perfect reflection bands.     

Attenuation characteristics of obliquely incident electromagnetic wave in weakly ionized dusty plasma based on modified Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook collision model

The attenuation characteristics of obliquely incident electromagnetic(EM) wave in L-Ka frequency band in weakly ionized dusty plasma are analyzed based on the modified Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook(BGK) collision model.According to the kinetic equation and the charging theory,the total complex dielectric constant of the weakly ionized dusty plasma is derived by considering that the minimum velocity of the electron accessible to the dust particle surface is non-zero and the second potential part of the collision cross-section contributes to the charging.The attenuation characteristics within the modified model are compared with those within the traditional model.The influence of the dusty plasma parameters and the incident angle of EM waves on the attenuation in weakly ionized dusty plasma is further analyzed.Finally,the influence of different reentry heights on the attenuation characteristics of the obliquely incident EM wave is discussed.The results show that the effect of the minimum electron velocity and the second term of the collision cross-section on the attenuation characteristics of EM waves cannot be ignored.When the dust density and dust radius are changed,the trends of the attenuation of obliquely incident EM waves are consistent,but the influence of dust density is weaker than that of dust radius due to the constraint of orbit-limited motion(OLM) theory.The plasma thickness,electron density,and incident angle are proportional to the attenuation amplitude of EM waves.The effect of different reentry heights on the attenuation obliquely incident EM waves is related to the electron density and plasma thickness.     

Faraday Rotation of Overdense Magnetized Plasma

In this study, we investigate Faraday rotation of electromagnetic waves that are anomalously transmitted through an over‐dense magnetized plasma layer. Here, magnetized plasma indicates that the plasma layer is immersed in a uniform magnetic field. Firstly, normally opaque over‐dense magnetized plasma is shown to be transparent to obliquely incident electromagnetic waves. This high transparency can be achieved by providing conditions for resonant excitations of plasmonic modes. The resonant characteristics of the transmission coefficient of the considered structure are determined and discussed. The conditions under which the magnetized plasma behaves as a complete reflector are also obtained. Faraday rotation is shown to be enhanced under high transparency conditions. The reflected wave also exhibits Faraday rotation and is enhanced under total reflection conditions. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

The reflection index of an unsteady magnetized plasma slab when the external magnetic field is normal to the plasma surface

In this paper the reflection index of an unsteady magnetized plasma slab irradiated by an electromagnetic wave is investigated. The direction of the external magnetic field is normal to the plasma surface. Here, it is assumed that the electromagnetic wave is normally incident on the gas slab. On the other hand, this gas slab is being ionized by another strong microwave field and the density of the unsteady plasma increases with time. The effects of the density growth rate, the thickness of the plasma slab and the external magnetic field on the reflection index are simulated.     

Interaction of an obliquely incident electromagnetic wave with collisional plasma half space

Penetration and reflection of an electromagnetic wave incident obliquely on a semi-infinite collisional plasma is studied. The linearized Boltzmann equation is used for the perturbed plasma. Using Fourier transform technique, specular boundary condition and simple collisional model the solution of coupled Maxwell-Boltzmann equations is presented. The field solutions consist of both longitudinal and transverse parts into the plasma region. The reflection coefficient is also obtained.     

Generation and Radiation of Waves at Combined Frequencies in a Warm Inhomogeneous Plasma Layer

We investigate generation and radiation of waves at combined frequencies from an arbitrary inhomogeneous, isotropic plasma layer, when electromagnetic waves are obliquely incident on it to interact with a surface wave at the plasma boundary. This interaction has been described for both S- and P-polarized waves. We consider a warm plasma layer with thickness very small as compared to the wavelengths of oscillations. It is shown that generated waves are strongly amplified, compared to cold plasma, when phase velocities of generated waves approaches the electron thermal velocity. Waves are not emitted when P-polarized waves are incident perpendicular onto the plasma layer.

Relativistically strong electromagnetic radiation in a plasma

Physical processes in a plasma under the action of relativistically strong electromagnetic waves generated by high-power lasers have been briefly reviewed. These processes are of interest in view of the development of new methods for acceleration of charged particles, creation of sources of bright hard electromagnetic radiation, and investigation of macroscopic quantum-electrodynamical processes. Attention is focused on nonlinear waves in a laser plasma for the creation of compact electron accelerators. The acceleration of plasma bunches by the radiation pressure of light is the most efficient regime of ion acceleration. Coherent hard electromagnetic radiation in the relativistic plasma is generated in the form of higher harmonics and/or electromagnetic pulses, which are compressed and intensified after reflection from relativistic mirrors created by nonlinear waves. In the limit of extremely strong electromagnetic waves, radiation friction, which accompanies the conversion of radiation from the optical range to the gamma range, fundamentally changes the behavior of the plasma. This process is accompanied by the production of electron–positron pairs, which is described within quantum electrodynamics theory.     

Plasmons and polaritons in a semi-infinite plasma and a plasma slab

Plasmon and polariton modes are derived for an ideal semi-infinite (half-space) plasma and an ideal plasma slab by using a general, unifying procedure, based on equations of motion, Maxwell's equations and suitable boundary conditions. Known results are re-obtained in much a more direct manner and new ones are derived. The approach consists of representing the charge disturbances by a displacement field in the positions of the moving particles (electrons). The dielectric response and the electron energy loss are computed. The surface contribution to the energy loss exhibits an oscillatory behaviour in the transient regime near the surfaces. The propagation of an electromagnetic wave in these plasmas is treated by using the retarded electromagnetic potentials. The resulting integral equations are solved and the reflected and refracted waves are computed, as well as the reflection coefficient. For the slab we compute also the transmitted wave and the transmission coefficient. Generalized Fresnel's relations are thereby obtained for any incidence angle and polarization. Bulk and surface plasmon-polariton modes are identified. As it is well known, the field inside the plasma is either damped (evanescent) or propagating (transparency regime), and the reflection coefficient for a semi-infinite plasma exhibits an abrupt enhancement on passing from the propagating regime to the damped one (total reflection). Similarly, apart from characteristic oscillations, the reflection and transmission coefficients for a plasma slab exhibit an appreciable enhancement in the damped regime.     

Three-dimensional step discontinuities in planar waveguides: Angular-spectrum representation of guided wavefields and generalized matrix-operator formalism

For obliquely incident guided modes the light propagation in slab waveguides with step discontinuities can be described by means of an angular-spectrum representation of the electromagnetic fields together with a generalized matrix-operator formalism. By means of a discretization of the radiation and evanescent modes, the computation of the reflection and transmission coefficients can be reduced to the numerical solution of algebraic equations. The TE-TM coupling, which takes place for oblique incidence, and the different evanescent field effects are discussed in detail.     

Simulation and analysis of interaction between oblique incidence electromagnetic wave and plasma slab

Numerical simulation of interaction between plasma slab and electromagnetic wave which has different incident frequency and incident angle is discussed in this paper. Some parameters contain reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient, reflectance, transmittance and phase are calculated by transfer matrix method. The relation of these parameters with incident frequency and incident angle is analyzed. The results show that the incident angle has low influence on the parameters when the angle varies from 0° to 30° and from 70° to 90°, but it has high influence on the parameters when it changes from 30° to 70°. These rules have certain directive significance to the research of interaction between oblique incidence electromagnetic wave and plasma slab and to the design of plasma layer.     

Electrically controlled reflection and transmission of obliquely incident light by structurally chiral materials

The solution of a boundary-value problem for the reflection and transmission of obliquely incident plane waves due to a slab of a structurally chiral material (SCM) displaying the Pockels effect with a point group symmetry indicates the enhancement of circular Bragg phenomenon by the application of a dc voltage. The enhancement suggests that thinner SCMs can be used as devices such as polarization-rejection filters if the Pockels effect is exploited, for both normally and obliquely incident light.     

Electromagnetic Reflection from Conductive Plate Coated with Nonuniform Plasma

Based on the theories of electromagnetic (EM) field and generalized reflection coefficient, a simple method is put forward to deal with the EM reflection coefficient of conductive plate coated with nonuniform plasma. The plasma slab is modeled by a series of subslabs, in which the electron-number density is assumed to be constant. The overall number density profile across the whole slab follows any practical distribution function. The reflection coefficient is then deduced and its functional dependence on the number density, incident wave frequency, collision frequency, and background magnetic field is discussed.     

Frequency upshifting of electromagnetic radiation via obliqueincidence on an ionization front

Frequency upshifting of electromagnetic radiation impinging on a relativistically moving ionization front is theoretically investigated. Unlike previous works in this field treating the case of normal incidence and qualitatively similar case of oblique incidence of a transverse electric polarized wave, oblique incidence of a transverse magnetic polarized wave on the front is considered. The peculiarities of the case under consideration are connected with the generation of Langmuir waves behind the front and Brewster's phenomenon. We present a complete analysis of the incident wave transformation including analysis of the frequencies and amplitudes of the waves excited ahead of and behind the front. Special emphasis is made on energy transformation in the case when a wave packet is incident on the front. In particular, we show that even for negligible angles of incidence, energy losses via transformation into Langmuir waves may be very high (up to ~60%). In general, generation of Langmuir waves may play a significant role in the plasma-based radiation sources with relativistic ionization fronts     

Nonlinear second harmonic generation by light wave-plasma interaction in oscillating magnetic field

The nonlinear generation of second harmonic electromagnetic waves in a thin inhomogeneous (dense and rarefied) plasma layer (of lengthd) by obliquely and normally incident light waves is analyzed. We consider the effect of an external time-dependent magnetic field on the generation and amplification of waves. Two cases are considered, when the magnetic field oscillates at a frequency (i) equal to and (ii) double that of the incident wave. For normal incidence, waves are not radiated in case (i), while in case (ii) the second harmonics are radiated equally from the plasma boundaries atx=0 andx=d. For a rarefied plasma, the second harmonics are radiated with equal amplitudes in both cases.     

Interaction of electromagnetic waves with a magnetized nonuniform plasma slab

The absorption, reflection, and transmission of electromagnetic waves by a nonuniform plasma slab immersed in an ambient uniform magnetic field of various strengths are studied in this paper. The effects of the plasma parameters and magnetic field strength on the absorbed, reflected, and transmitted power are discussed. The magnetized nonuniform plasma slab is modeled by a series of magnetized uniform plasma subslabs. The calculation results show that the effects of the magnetic field strength and density gradient on the absorbed power, as well as the frequency band of resonant absorption, are significant. A complete analysis utilizing the scattering matrix method is also used to compare the above calculation results which neglect multiple reflections between subslab interfaces. Broadband absorption of electromagnetic waves can be achieved by changing the magnetic field strength and plasma density. More than 90% of the electromagnetic wave power can be absorbed in a magnetized nonuniform plasma slab with width of 12 cm and the absorption bandwidth can range from 1 to 20 GHz with different plasma parameters and external magnetic field strengths.
