Spontaneous emission from a semi-bounded plasma

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

The electromagnetic radiation field of sources arbitrarily distributed throughout space is found for the case of a semi-bounded plasma when the charged plasma particles are specularly and randomly scattered by the plasma interface. The spectral distributions of the thermal radiation emitted by a nonisothermal semi-bounded plasma into an external medium having a nonzero temperature are calculated.
