Abstract

Using hydrodynamical model of semiconductor plasma analytical investigations are made for the amplitude modulation as well as demodulation of an electromagnetic wave in a transversely magnetised acousto-optic semiconducting plasma. The inclusion of carriers diffusion adds new dimension in the analysis presented here. Analysis are made under different wave number regions over a wide range of cyclotron frequency. It has been seen that diffusion of charge carriers modifies amplitude modulation and demodulation processes effectively. Numerical estimations are made for n-InSb crystal irradiated by pump wave of frequency 1.6 T s-1. Complete absorption of the waves takes place in all the possible wave lengths regimes when the cyclotron frequency \(\) becomes exactly equal to (v2 + \(\))1/2.
