Abstract:
1. Plasma based radiant electromagnetic energy beam apparatus comprising the combination of: an input radiant energy steering-containerized transiently ionizable gas film dispersed over a surface within said plasma based energy directing apparatus; a source of said input radiant electromagnetic energy directed toward an exposed surface of said plasma based radiant electromagnetic energy beam apparatus containerized-transiently ionizable gas film; an array of ionized plasma electron density controlling modulation electrode pairs disposed adjacent said surface and said containerized transiently ionizable gas film-within said plasma based radiant electromagnetic energy beam apparatus; a source of dynamically changing modulation voltage connected with each said electrode pair in said array of plasma electron density controlling electrodes and generating a plurality of coordinated radiant electromagnetic energy steering, transient gas ionization achieving, electrode control signals; said dynamically changing modulation voltage imparting a phase modulation directivity on steered incident electromagnetic energy in a dynamic response of said incident electromagnetic energy to transient ionization controlled plasma density and electron density in a containerized ionized gas plasma film.
