Guided-Wave-Produced Plasmas provides an up-to-date report of the
physics of plasmas produced by the high-frequency electromagnetic fields
of guided waves. The modelling of discharges generated by travelling
surface waves is presented using a unified approach based on modern
aspects of nonlinear plasma theory. Diagnostic methods needed for
research and the main experimental results on plasma behaviour are
covered in detail. The methods and ideas presented in this book possess
great potential for a wide variety of applications in plasma technology.
