This lecture covers the propagation and absorption of light in plasmas, focusing on topics such as inverse Bremsstrahlung, wave propagation, resonant absorption, and collisionless absorption. It explains how electrons participate in wave propagation, the excitation of plasma waves, and the absorption mechanisms in inhomogeneous and overdense plasmas.
