Resumo
The field structure of quasi-optical wave beams tunneled through the evanescence region in the vicinity of the plasma cutoff in a nonuniform magnetoactive plasma is analyzed. This problem is traditionally associated with the process of linear transformation of ordinary and extraordinary waves. An approximate analytical solution is constructed for a rather general magnetic configuration applicable to spherical tokamaks, optimized stellarators, and other magnetic confinement systems with a constant plasma density on magnetic surfaces. A general technique for calculating the transformation coefficient of a finite-aperture wave beam is proposed, and the physical conditions required for the most efficient transformation are analyzed.
