Non-linear interaction of electromagnetic waves with plasmas

Abstract

This thesis deals with some of the forms of interaction of high-frequency electromagnetic waves with plasmas and their applications. The interaction of ions/electrons with electrostatic and electromagnetic waves plays a key role in the description and understanding of many phenomena relevant to charged particle acceleration and plasma instabilities in astrophysical systems, accelerators and controlled thermonuclear fusion devices. In cases where there is a resonance of the Doppler-shifted wave frequency with the cyclotron harmonics, the interaction is stimulated by significant energy exchange between the wave and the particles. This effect, apart from Astrophysics where it is related to the observations of radiation from accelerated particles, as e.g. in the ionosphere or during solar flares, has important experimental applications both in the production of coherent high-frequency electromagnetic radiation, e.g. from gyrotrons or free electron lasers, as well as in plasma heating and n ...
