Abstract
A new class of exact standing-wave solutions of the Maxwell cold-plasma equations with fixed ions is described. The waves are transverse, and circularly polarized. These solutions permit an analytical treatment of intense wave penetration into inhomogeneous plasmas with fixed ions.Keywords
