Abstract

A nonlinear effect in the electrodynamics of hard superconductors is predicted and theoretically studied. It is shown, that a low-frequency (LF) electromagnetic wave can pass through a superconducting plate, due to its interaction with another wave propagating in the opposite direction, even at small amplitudes of the LF wave when it cannot reach the opposite boundary of the sample without assistance. The dependence of the LF surface impedance on the amplitude of the high-frequency (hf) wave is studied within the framework of the critical state model. The LF surface impedance is found to be drastically increased by the overlapping of the regions of wave penetration.
