The deteriorating effect of plasma density fluctuations on microwave beam quality
Alf Köhn, Max E. Austin, Michael W. Brookman +13
Turbulent plasma edge density fluctuations can broaden a traversing microwave beam degrading its quality. This can be a problem for scenarios relying on a high spatial localization…

Microwave beam broadening due to turbulent plasma density fluctuations within the limit of the Born approximation and beyond
Alf Köhn, Lorenzo Guidi, Eberhard Holzhauer +4
Plasma turbulence, and edge density fluctuations in particular, can under certain conditions broaden the cross-section of injected microwave beams significantly. This can be a seve…
