Abstract

Transmission, reflection and absorption of a transverse electromagnetic wave by a thermal plasma slab of finite width are investigated theoretically. By solving the Maxwell–Boltzmann equations using a mode-analysis method under appropriate boundary conditions, the coefficients of transmission and reflection of the electromagnetic wave and the absorption rate by plasma electrons are obtained as Fourier series. We discuss the relevant physics of the results.
