The science of magnetically confined plasmas covers the entire
spectrum of physics from classical and relativistic electrodynamics
to quantum mechanics. During the last sixty years of research, our
initial primitive understanding of plasma physics has made
impressive progress thanks to a variety of experiments - from
tabletop devices with plasma temperatures of a few thousands of
degrees and confinement times of less than 100 microseconds, to
large tokamaks with plasma temperatures of up to five hundred
million degrees and confinement times approaching one second. We
discovered that plasma confinement is impaired by a variety of
instabilities leading to turbulent processes with scales ranging
from the plasma size to a few millimeters. Understanding these
phenomena, which have slowed down progress towards a fusion
reactor, requires the use of very sophisticated diagnostic tools,
many of which employ electromagnetic waves.The primary objective of
this book is to discuss the fundamental physics upon which the
application of electromagnetic waves to the study of magnetically
confined plasmas is based.
