Intensity dependence of transmission of electromagnetic radiation through an overdense Z -pinch plasma

The interaction of a 10.6-μm-wavelength electromagnetic wave with an independently created overdense plasma has been investigated at incident intensities on either side of the field-strength condition Vosc/Vth=1. An intensity threshold for transmission of the radiation through the overdense target p...

Description
Summary:The interaction of a 10.6-μm-wavelength electromagnetic wave with an independently created overdense plasma has been investigated at incident intensities on either side of the field-strength condition Vosc/Vth=1. An intensity threshold for transmission of the radiation through the overdense target plasma was observed near Vosc/Vth=1. Temporal behavior of the transmitted radiation pulse was compared to that of the incident pulse over an intensity range (0.1–4) ×1011 W/cm2.
