Abstract

It is pointed out that the millimeter-wave vortex may contribute to an efficient method of plasma heating since it was found that the millimeter-wave vortex can propagate in magnetized plasma even in which the normal plane wave is in cut-off condition. Then, it was assumed that the vortex field was the Laguerre–Gaussian (L–G) mode which is a free-space solution, but the generation and stable propagation of the L–G mode vortex are not easy in the millimeter frequency range. On the other hand, it is known that the millimeter-wave hybrid mode of the cylindrical corrugated waveguide also has vortex properties. In this paper, we investigate the propagation characteristics of a millimeter-wave vortex of a hybrid mode of a cylindrical corrugated waveguide in the magnetized plasma by using three-dimensional numerical simulations with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. It is found that the millimeter-wave vortex of hybrid mode also can propagate in the magnetized plasma even in a condition in which the normal plane wave is in cut-off condition, and the propagation power in the plasma is highly dependent on the topological charge l.

利用 FDTD 方法研究磁化等离子体中毫米波涡旋的传播特性

研究指出，毫米波漩涡可能有助于一种有效的等离子体加热方法，因为研究发现，即使正常平面波处于截止状态，毫米波漩涡也能在磁化等离子体中传播。然后，假设涡旋场是拉盖尔-高斯（L-G）模式，这是一种自由空间解，但在毫米波频率范围内，L-G 模式涡旋的产生和稳定传播并不容易。另一方面，已知圆柱波纹波导的毫米波混合模式也具有漩涡特性。本文采用有限差分时域（FDTD）方法进行三维数值模拟，研究了磁化等离子体中圆柱波纹波导混合模式毫米波涡旋的传播特性。研究发现，即使在法向平面波处于截止状态的条件下，混合模式的毫米波涡旋也能在磁化等离子体中传播，而且等离子体中的传播功率与拓扑电荷 l 高度相关。
