Abstract	The problem of an electromagnetic wave obliquely incident upon a plasma slab is considered as a boundary-value problem, using a self-consistent solution of the coupled linearized Vlasov and Maxwell equations for the electrons, with the ions treated as a fixed, uniform background. Power reflection, transmission, and absorption coefficients are derived under the assumption that electrons undergo specular reflection at the surfaces of the plasma slab. Although our analysis is valid for arbitrary slab thickness, computational results are presented for slabs which are thin compared to a free-space wavelength. The results show a series of resonances which are attributed to the kinetic behavior of the plasma. The results further show that the resonances are Landau damped as the thermal velocity of the plasma electrons increases. While similar resonances can be predicted from the coupled linearized hydrodynamic Maxwell equations, such a model does not predict Landau damping. The effects of a finite collision frequency are then included via a simple Bhatnager-Gross-Krook collision term. The numerical computations vividly indicate that the resonances undergo severe damping for extremely small ratios of the collision frequency to signal frequency.
