Abstract

The propagation of the resonance electromagnetic wave accompanied by gas ionization is considered. Plasma is formed through initial associative processes followed by the action of electrons which gain energy when colliding with the excited atoms. The change in the nature of the radiation propagation results from both a decrease in the ground state atom density and an increase in the probability of the upper state atom de-excitation. Concrete estimates are made for cesium. The degree of gas ionization and the wave propagation velocity of transparency are calculated.
