Transversal plasma resonance in a nonmagnetized plasma and possibilities of practical employment of it

TL;DR

This paper explores the existence of transversal plasma resonance in nonmagnetized plasmas and discusses its potential applications in designing resonators, filters, and lasers based on plasma oscillations.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of transversal resonance in nonmagnetized plasma and proposes practical applications for this phenomenon.

Findings

Transversal resonance exists alongside Langmuir resonance in nonmagnetized plasma.

Both resonances are degenerated, sharing similar properties.

Potential for developing plasma-based resonators, filters, and lasers.

Abstract

It is shown that in a nonmagnetized plasma, beside the longitudinal Langmuir resonance, there may also exist the transversal resonance. Both these resonance kinds are degenerated. Employment of the transversal resonance makes it possible to design resonators and filters, as well as powerful single-frequency lasers operating on the basis of collective oscillations of plasma.
