Interference simulation in a cold collisionless moving magnetized plasma slab and (free surface of plasma slab)

Abstract

The pattern of intensity due to the interference in a cold collisionless magnetized moving plasma slab is investigated. Theoretically, it is assumed the mentioned layer has been located as a thin layer in an etalon Fabry–Perot interferometer surrounded by vacuum. The direction of external magnetic field is normal to the plasma surface and the plasma slab moves parallel with external constant magnetic field. By taking into account the relativistic considerations, the functions of transmitted intensity are presented coincident with the Airy function form in laboratory and plasma slab frames, respectively. The effects of plasma frequency, cyclotron frequency, thickness of plasma slab, and velocity of the plasma slab on band width, finesse factor, and visibility are simulated. Finally with the assumption that there are two wavelengths near together in incident electromagnetic beam the power resolution for this configuration are analyzed. All studies mentioned above have been done for S-polarized and P-polarized electromagnetic beams separately.
