Generation and radiation of third harmonics by s-polarized electromagnetic waves incident on a narrow inhomogeneous magnetoactive plasma layer

Abstract

An investigation is made of wave generation and radiation of third harmonics by s-polarized electromagnetic waves incident on a narrow inhomogeneous layer of a magnetoactive plasma. The amplitudes of the radiated third-harmonic waves are calculated. In contrast with second harmonics, third harmonics are radiated for the case of normally incident waves on an unmagnetized plasma.
