Analysis of ray phase-space recirculation in an extended Budden problem
Abstract
A three-wave Budden model with two resonance layers is constructed that allows recirculation of energy fluxes along a quadrangle in ray phase space. The transmission, reflection, and conversion coefficients for this extended Budden problem are calculated by ray phase-space methods and the modular-eikonal approach. Analytical and numerical results show that all coefficients exhibit interference effects that depend on an interference phase calculated from the coupling constants and the area enclosed by the quadrangle.
