Abstract
Effects of plasma density nonuniformity on the surface wave propagatio n along plasma-plasma and plasma-dielectric interfaces are investigate d. Plasma inhomogeneities in longitudinal and transverse directions wi th respect to the direction of wave propagation are considered. The in fluence of the inhomogeneity on the propagation properties (dispersion , absorption) of the surface waves and the space distribution of the w ave fields is analyzed. The wave behavior in the region of the quasi-s tatic surface wave resonance is also studied.
