Abstract
Based on the angular spectrum expansion and the 4x4 transfer matrix method, an investigation into the reflection, transmission, and absorption of vortex beams in an inhomogeneous magnetized plasma slab is presented. The reflected and transmitted electric fields are expressed by the inverse Fourier transform of the product of the reflected and transmitted coefficients and the angular spectrum amplitude of the incident beam. The intensity profiles, as well as the distortion of OAM states in both the reflected and transmitted beams are simulated and discussed. Through this investigation it could be concluded that both the incident angle and the plasma parameters have significant impact on the magnitudes of reflected and transmitted intensities, and the distortion of OAM states. The effects of the magnetic field and the incident angle on the reflectance, transmittance, and absorptance of the power have also been reported.Keywords
