Optimization of beat frequency plasma heating near the electron cyclotron frequency

  • 1. Alberta Univ., Edmonton (Canada). Dept. of Electrical Engineering

Description

The plasma power absorbed from a beat frequency wave generated through the nonlinear mixing of two laser beams may be optimized by the utilization of an electron current resonance. The parametric dependence of the plasma power absorption near an electron resonance is examined together with experimental considerations for the case where CO2 lasers are used.
