Two effects are examined which may lead to enhanced absorption of light by sharply bounded plasma layers at oblique incidence. The first is a resonance absorption caused by interference of light reflected from the front and rear boundaries of the layer. The second is the linear coupling of the incident transverse wave into longitudinal plasma waves. It is thought that these effects may be useful in obtaining increased efficiency in laser heating of plasmas.

Heterojunction (type II) of self standing, vertically aligned CdSe NTs (n-type) with electrodeposited Cu2O (p-type) exhibits excellent photoresponse, resulting from enhanced absorption of light and faster transport of photogenerated charge carriers by CdSe NTs.

The plasma waves generated by resonant absorption of light in the vicinity of the critical density of laser-produced plasmas, are modelled by a non-linear Schrödinger equation with additional terms accounting for the presence of a source and the inhomogeneity of the medium.We use an average lagrangian method to describe the behaviour of the solutions of this equation in the range of parameters where periodic soliton generation occurs. An iterating scheme describing the successive emission of solitons yields values for this range of parameters which are in reasonable agreement with those found from direct numerical simulations of the non-linear Schrödinger equation.
