Abstract

Collective electromagnetic modes in weakly ionized plasma formed by multiphoton ionization of inert gas atoms, in which the Ramsauer–Townsend effect takes place, are studied. It is shown that at a relatively low energy of photoelectrons of the order of 1 eV, typical for multiphoton ionization, amplification of electromagnetic waves is possible. Amplification is possible both in the case of rare collisions of photoelectrons with neutral atoms and for collision frequencies higher than electron plasma frequency. At photoelectron energies somewhat higher than 1 eV, aperiodic instability can develop with growth rate whose value is comparable to electron plasma frequency. Detailed analytical and numerical analysis of the effect of collisions of photoelectrons with neutral atoms on the dispersion law of electromagnetic wave and the growth rates of instabilities is presented.

Keywords
