Phys. Rev. Lett. 34, 134–138 (1975)Surface-Wave AbsorptionReceived 24 June 1974; published in the issue dated 20 January 1975 The 50% peak absorption predicted for resonant absorption in a linear density profile can be raised to above 90% if a different profile is used which involves a sharp jump in density along which a surface wave may propagate. Collisionless-plasma simulation studies show that at high intensities the energy goes into fast electrons which are accelerated back out of the plasma into the vacuum. © 1975 The American Physical Society URL:
