Abstract
An integral representation of the geometric optics solutions for the field of dressed particles in inhomogeneous plasma is derived. The representation is a natural generalization of the Fourier integral used for homogeneous systems. The set of plane waves is replaced by a complete orthogonal set of ‘‘quasiplane waves’’ which in practice may be constructed by using the existing ray tracing codes.Keywords
