Abstract. On the basis of exactly solvable mathematical model it
is considered the reflectionless propagation of transverse electromagnetic wave in an inhomogeneous plasma with subwave
structures and the rise of soliton-like splashes of wave field with
its strong amplification. The spatial profile of splash wave field is
depending on the number of free parameters. It is possible the
reflectionless passage of electromagnetic wave incident from the
vacuum on the plasma through such subwavelength structures
which characteristics may be very variable ones.
The basic equations and their analysis
Up to the present time it was considered the interaction of electromagnetic waves
with inhomogeneous and nonstationary media by the usage of exactly solvable
physico-mathematical models [1-4]. Such problems are of the great interest in a
number of applications, in particular, for the increasing of efficiency of electromagnetic radiation absorption during the plasma heating; to explain the possible
mechanisms of electromagnetic radiation escape from the sources located in the
overdense plasmas in the astrophysics; to find the optimum of inhomogeneous
structures characteristics for the purpose to raise the efficiency of absorption
coverages and transillumination ones in the radio frequency band and to elaborate the
radio transparent coating of antennas. This analysis is important also for the search of
optimum of the dielectric permeability distribution in transillumination layer
thickness to provide the minimum of reflection of electromagnetic signal and its
transmission from antenna covered by the dense plasma [5]. Investigations
performed early (see, for example, [2,3]) had shown that it is possible to obtain the
reflectionless passage of electromagnetic waves from the vacuum into the object
dielectric coverage in spite of the dielectric permeability jump presence on the
intermedia surface. Besides these investigations allow to improve significantly our
understanding of electromagnetic fields dynamics in spatio-temporal subwave
dielectric structures having the strong spatial dispersion.
Below it is performed the analysis of soliton type splashes origion during the
electromagnetic wave reflectionless propagation through the inhomogeneous plasma. In
the splashes place the wave amplitude may be strongly amplified by the one order of
magnitude and even more. The mathematical model used is based on the exact solution
of Helmholtz equation and the problem free parameters number may be arbitrary one.
So it allows to change essentially, for example, the number of splashes, their amplitudes
and forms, the distances between splashes and so on. Consequently, it is possible to
change significantly the spatial profile of transilluminated inhomogeneous plasma
structure.
It is necessary to emphasize here that it is studied the subwavelength plasma
inhomogeneities with large amplitude variations. So it is impossible to use approximate
methods for the analysis of electromagnetic waves interaction with such plasmas.
The exactly solvable models considered may reveal the new features of oscillation
dynamics and waves propagation and demonstrate also the interesting opportunities for
practical applications under the medium controllable variations. Actually we are
considering the resonance tunneling phenomenon of electromagnetic wave over the
structured plasma which includes the local opaque region.
Thus in the analogy with papers [6,7] in the cases considered the electromagnetic
wave is consistent with the inhomogeneous plasma layer.
Let us consider the interaction of s-polarized electromagnetic wave with the
inhomogeneous plasma in the absence of external magnetic field or for the case of
wave propagation in the magnetoactive plasma perpendicular to the external magnetic
field. For the wave electric field E(x,t) = Re [ F(x) exp ( i  t ) ], the function F(x) is
the solution of following equation
d2F / dx2 + k02  ef(x) F = 0.
(1)
Here k0 =  / c is the vacuum wavenumber,  is the wave frequency, pe(x) is the
plasma electron langmuir frequency, ef(x) = 1 – [ pe(x) /  ]2. In the case of
extraordinary electromagnetic wave propagation across the external magnetic field in
magnetoactive plasma the function ef(x) is given by the following formula
ef(x)  N2(x) =  - ( c2 /  ), where N is the refraction index,  and c are the
components of dielectric tensor. For the further analysis it is convenient to introduce
the dimensionless spatial variable  = k0 x and the wavenumber p() = c kx(x) /  .
The exact solution of equation (1) is taken like this [1-4]
F() = F0  exp[ i () ] / [1/p()]1/2 , d/d = p(),
F0 = const.
(2)
So according to (1), (2) we obtain the following connection between the effective
dielectric permeability ef(x) and the wave number p()
ef() = [ p() ]2 + (d2p / d2) /2p – 0.75(dp / d)2 /p2.
(3)
Let us introduce now the normalized wave amplitude A()  [1/p()]1/2. Then the
formula (3) may be written like this
d2A / d2 + ef() A - [ 1 / A() ]3 = 0.
(4)
Nonlinear equation (4) for the given function ef() determines the spatial profile of
electromagnetic wave amplitude A(). It is necessary to note that even in the case of
homogeneous plasma when ef() = const the solution of equation (4) describes (for the
fixed wave frequency) the spatially modulated wave packet with some parameter
characterizing the magnitude of amplitude A() variation !
Let us introduce  =  , where  is the parameter determining the typical scale of
plasma inhomogeneity. Now we consider the exactly solvable model of localized
plasma inhomogeneity for which W() =  +  / ( 1 + 2 ). So the nondimendional
wave number and the effective dielectric permeability are determined by the following
expressions
p() = 1 /W2(), ef() = [1/W() ]4 + 2 2 (1 - 3 2) /[ (1 + 2)2 ( +  + 2 )] (5)
with three parameters , , . Let us take as the following  = 1.3,  = 11,  = 0.73. It is
necessary to note here that for  < c = (0.5 / )0.5  [ (  +  ) - 1 / (  +  )3 ] 0.5 the
magnitude of ef(0) is less of the unity.
The plotts of functions p(), W(), ef() are given in the Fig.1a-Fig.1c. According to
the Fig.1a the minimum of p()  6.6  10-3 is in the point  = 0, where the wave field
amplitude W() amplification is 9.46 (see the Fig.1b).
Fig.1b.
Fig.1c.
But far enough from the splash we have W()  . The profile of effective dielectric
permeability has the nonmonotonous behaviour: in the field splash center we have
ef(0)  0.953 (that is the maximum of ef() ) and there are two plasma regions where
ef() < 0. So ef() = 0 in the points    0.58 and    3.87. The minimum value of
ef() equal - 0.46 is in the points    1.2. Thus for this case of parameters choice
there is the localized (2 ~ 1 ) plasma inhomogeneity with very large wave field
amplification at its center where ef  0.953. It is necessary emphasize here the
nonlocal connection of wave field splash place with points in which ef() = 0.
The model considered may be generalized to the case of n arbitrary disposed wave
field splashes with amplitudes Am = ( + m) if we take the function W() like this
W() =  + m m / [ 1 + m2 (  - m )2 ], where 1  m  n, m is the center of splash
with number m. These plasma structures are subwavelength ones for the choice m > 1.
The other model of exact solution for electromagnetic wave field splash in the
inhomogeneous plasma having the exponential splash field decreasing outside splash
center is realized under the following choice of function W() : W() =  +  / ch  ,
 =  . So the spatial profile of effective plasma permeability is described by the
following expression
ef() = 1 / W4() +  2 ( 2 - ch2  ) / [ ch2  {  +  ch  } ].
Let us take now  > 0 ,  > 0. The condition ef(0) < 1 is fulfilled for the choice
 < c = ( 1 +  /  )1/2  [ 1 – 1 / (  +  )4 ]1/2.
In the case  = 1.3 ,  = 11 ,  = 0.73 the plotts of functions W(), p(), ef() are
shown in the Fig.2. As it seen from the Fig.2 in the splash center we have min p = p(0)
 0.0066, the wave field amplification in the splash is 9.46. The ef() profile has
nonmonotonous behaviour and max ef() = ef(0)  0.477 is in the point  = 0. In the
splash region there are two subregions 0.9 <  < 4 where ef() < 0 with minimum
magnitude of ef()  - 0.314.
So according to the exact solution of Helmholtz equation given above the strong
enough spatial dispersion of ef() changes significantly the classical conceptions
between profiles of wave number p() and effective dielectric permeability ef(). It is
necessary to note also that it is possible more common case of plasma inhomogeneity
with n arbitrary placed wave field splashes having their amplitude ( + m) under the
following choice of function W() : W() =  + m m / [ ch { m (  - m ) } ] where
1  m  n, m is the center of splash with number m.
Let us take now p() = 1 -  / ( 1 + 2 ),  =   ,  =  t ,  = 0.99 ,  = 0.04. We may
consider the spatial profiles of wave electric field
F(x, t) = E(x,t) / E0 = [ 1 / p() ]1 / 2 cos [ (, ) ] , where
(, ) = ( 1 /  )(  - arctg  ) - ,
for the different moments of nondimensional time . In the Fig.3 such profiles are
presented for the choice 1 = 0, 2 = 3 / 2. The large splashes of wave field are
observed at the n =  n, but for times n =  ( n + 0.5 ) these splashes aren’t so strong.
Fig.2a.
Fig.2b.
Fig.2c.
Fig.3.
Let us present now the analysis results of wave field splashes raise in the case of
periodical inhomogeneity in the magnetoactive plasma.
For example, we may take the following exactly solvable model
W() =  + 0.25  ( 1 + cos  )2.
The plotts of functions W(), p(), ef() are given in the Fig.4 for the interval
< 15 and the incoming parameters choice  = 1.2 ,  = 8,  = 0.8 ,  =  .
In this case we have :
min p() = p(0) = 0.012 , max p() = 0.694 , max W = 9.2 , min W = 1.2 ,
max ef() = 4.734 , ef(1.5) =0.014 , ef(0) = 0.557 , min ef() = 0.01.
Since in this example we have max ef() > 1 such situation corresponds to the
extraordinary electromagnetic wave propagation across the external magnetic field in
the magnetoactive plasma.

Conclusions
On the basis of exactly solvable model of Helmholtz equation it is considered the
reflectionless propagation of electromagnetic wave in the inhomogeneous plasma and
the raise of soliton type splashes of wave field in some plasma sublayers conditioned
by the strong decreasing of wave number p() magnitude.
Such splashes are possible both for the s-polarized electromagnetic wave of given
frequency in the plasma without the external magnetic field and also for the
extraordinary electromagnetic wave propagating across the external magnetic field in
the magnetoactive plasma.
The connection of wave field amplitude with the effective dielectric permeability is
describing by the nonlinear equation and the effect of strong spatial dispersion of ef()
is very important for subwavelength structures of the plasma inhomogeneity. The
spatial profiles of wave fields are characterizing by a number of free parameters.
It is possible the nonreflection passage of electromagnetic wave incident on the plasma
layer from vacuum and structures characteristics may be very variable ones. In
particular, the nonreflection passage of electromagnetic wave through the
inhomogeneous plasma may be described with special presentation of p() including
some finite but arbitrary function which may contains the stochastic spatial variations.
It is possible to take into account also the effects of cubic nonlinearity in ef().
