摘要
A plasma device - the Duo Plasmaline - is described where the plasma is produced by microwaves outside a tube in a low pressure chamber. The waves propagate as surface waves partially inside the tube and partially in the plasma. They are launched from both ends of the tube and produce an axially extended, homogeneous plasma. The properties of the waves are investigated by the numerical solution of the wave equation. Experimental results for the radial and axial profiles of the electron density and the wave field are given.
