Abstract

A planar plasma waveguide with a single interface between an isotropic homogeneous plasma, considered as a nonlinear medium and a linear dielectric (vacuum), is studied theoretically with respect to the nonlinear effects of self-action of surface waves. Striction and ionization nonlinearities within a weakly nonlinear limit are the mechanisms providing a plasma inhomogeneity. The nonlinear wavenumber shift and the modifications of the wave field distribution and power flow are the results obtained for the nonlinear wave behaviour. The analytical and numerical analysis covers the whole, electromagnetic, range of the surface waves.
