Electromagnetic emission at the plasma frequency ωp and its harmonics nωp has been studied. Although such emission is well known from very low density plasmas (electron density of the order of ne ≈ 108 cm−3) now, for the first time it has also been observed from a high density plasma (electron density of the order of ne ≈ 1023 cm−3) produced by a high-intensity femtosecond laser pulse. This radiation is strongly connected to jets of high energy electrons produced in such steep gradient plasmas by collective mechanisms, and probably to nonlinear Langmuir waves in the overdense plasma region. Theoretical investigations using particle-in-cell simulations have been made to pinpoint the physical origin and properties of the emission. Preliminary results show a very weak scaling of the ωp and 2ωp emission with intensity, which should provide clues for future theoretical analyses. Although not the main subject of the present work, also harmonics up to the 20th of the laser fundamental may have been observed close to the ωp and 2ωp line emission in the present experiment (PACS numbers: 52.40.Nk, 42.65.ky, 52.65.-y, 33.20.Ni, 52.25.Qt).

It is inevitable that high-intensity, wide-spectrum electromagnetic emissions are generated by the power electronic equipment of the Extra High Voltage (EHV) power converter station. The surveillance flight of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is thus, situated in a complex electromagnetic environment. The ubiquitous electromagnetic interference demands higher electromagnetic protection requirements from the UAV construction and operation. This article is related to the UAVs patrol inspections of the power line in the vicinity of the EHV converter station. The article analyzes the electromagnetic interference characteristics of the converter station equipment in the surrounding space and the impact of the electromagnetic emission on the communication circuits of the UAV. The anti-electromagnetic interference countermeasures strive to eliminate or reduce the threats of electromagnetic emissions on the UAV’s hardware and its communication network.

Type III radio bursts are radio emissions associated with solar flares. They are considered to be caused by electron beams travelling from the solar corona to the solar wind. Magnetic reconnection is a possible accelerator of electron beams in the course of solar flares since it causes unstable distribution functions and density inhomogeneities (cavities). The properties of radio emission by electron beams in an inhomogeneous environment are still poorly understood. We capture the nonlinear kinetic plasma processes of the generation of beam-related radio emissions in inhomogeneous plasmas by utilizing fully kinetic particle-in-cell code numerical simulations. Our model takes into account initial electron velocity distribution functions (EVDFs) as they are supposed to be created by magnetic reconnection. We focus our analysis on low-density regions with strong magnetic fields. The assumed EVDFs allow two distinct mechanisms of radio wave emissions: plasma emission due to wave–wave interactions and so-called electron cyclotron maser emission (ECME) due to direct wave–particle interactions. We investigate the effects of density inhomogeneities on the conversion of free energy from the electron beams into the energy of electrostatic and electromagnetic waves via plasma emission and ECME, as well as the frequency shift of electron resonances caused by perpendicular gradients in the beam EVDFs. Our most important finding is that the number of harmonics of Langmuir waves increases due to the presence of density inhomogeneities. The additional harmonics of Langmuir waves are generated by a coalescence of beam-generated Langmuir waves and their harmonics.
