Strong Field Electromagnetic Wave Interaction with Anisotropic Plasmas.
Abstract
A series of investigations on 'Strong Field Electromagnetic Wave Interaction with Anisotropic Plasmas' has been carried out. The major accomplishments include: Formulation of a theory of conductivity for a slightly ionized plasma; Development of plasma diagnostic techniques; Measurement of strong field, e-m wave interaction with anisotropic plasmas; Measurement of strong field, e-m waves in anisotropic plasmas; Discovery of enhanced transmission at high electron densities in the region of electron cyclotron resonance; Experimental results which do not support the theory on the effect of an electrostatic field on e-m wave propagation in a plasma; Distortion of amplitude modulated e-m waves transmitted through a plasma; and An absolute measurement of plasma density by propagation of e-m waves at small angles to the magnetic field direction.
