Abstract

In this paper, the interaction between terahertz wave and a non-uniform magnetized plasma slab is investigated. The electric field distribution in non-uniform plasma is presented and used to calculate the attenuation of the electromagnetic wave through plasma. Several types of electron density profiles are proposed and discussed. Effects of different plasma parameters (electron density, collision frequency, plasma thickness) and magnetic field amplitudes on THz wave attenuation characteristic are investigated. The transmission ratios at several typical THz signal frequencies in both unmagnetized and magnetized plasma are presented as well. These simulation results are meaningful for the flight communication.
