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…

Perturbing microwave beams by plasma density fluctuations
Alf Köhn, Eberhard Holzhauer, Jarrod Leddy +2
The propagation of microwaves across a turbulent plasma density layer is investigated with full-wave simulations. To properly represent a fusion edge-plasma, drift-wave turbulence…

Influence of plasma turbulence on microwave propagation
Alf Köhn, Eberhard Holzhauer, Jarrod Leddy +2
It is not fully understood how electromagnetic waves propagate through plasma density fluctuations when the size of the fluctuations is comparable with the wavelength of the incide…
