Abstract

The problem of a monochromatic plane electromagnetic wave incident from a vacuum onto a plasma slab is considered. The method of solution is based on the representation of the disturbance in the plasma layer as that generated by an appropriate current source in the complementary regions into which, for the purpose of the representation, the plasma is conceived to extend. The normal incidence case is treated first for both the specular reflexion and the absorption boundary conditions, with the extension to oblique incidence following in a later section of the paper.
