>>14630465Bear with me, I've only taken an intro-level plasma physics class and did a bit of research into basic plasma parameters, so I'm not the best at this.
So, incorporating the intuitive concepts in the RF heating regime, would it be possible to apply an external magnetic field (to induce an ion/electron-cyclotron frequency, etc.) for it to more efficiently (or actually just barely) absorb visible-light frequencies? Or is this inhibited by relativistic effects, or anything else for that matter?
Also, the black-body concept makes a whole hell of a lot of sense, but I imagine it would be wickedly ineffective against high-energy lasers.
Would appreciate feedback on this (among other things/ideas I have) but I've got to get to sleep for work tomorrow. E-mail me:
