Abstract :
In this study, we investigate the transparency of an over-dense inhomogeneous plasma
slab. This anomalous transmission is achieved when the conditions are provided for the
incident electromagnetic wave to excite coupled surface waves on both sides of the
slab. These conditions require that the homogeneous overdense plasma, or the metallic
film, is placed between two dielectric layers. Here, the inhomogeneity of the plasma
allows us to naturally establish the conditions by considering a specific shape for the
geometry of the density profile. Within this profile, the density linearly grows up from
both sides of the slab while the corresponding dielectric permittivity simultaneously
gains negative values. We obtain the exact solutions of the wave equations inside the
plasma and study the conditions for high transparency. The transmission losses due to
the collision effects are also discussed.
