Abstract
Plasma sources which are sustained by propagating surface waves (SW) have attracted considerable attention1–5 in view of their important practical applications. Because of the features of the discharge these plasma sources are convenient for use in plasma chemistry, laser techniques and so on. In contrast to the volume waves, SW can propagate along the overdense plasma and be absorbed without reflections by the plasma. As it is shown in 6, in this type of discharges nonlinear effects are very important to production and maintenance of the plasma.
