Effects of polarization on inverse Bremsstrahlung heating of a plasma.
A molecular dynamic (MD) code is used to compare the rates of heating by inverse Bremsstrahlung (IB) for circularly and linearly polarized radiation. For low intensities the heating rate is found to be independent of polarization. However, at higher intensities the variation of the heating rate with...
