It was previously shown by the author that an inhomogeneous slab of plasma with a supercritical density at the maximum may turn out to be totally transparent for an incident p-polarized wave if dissipative processes are ignored and if there is an abrupt change in the density from a subcritical to a supercritical value. Other authors have asserted that a necessary condition for total wave transmission is a spatial symmetry of the system. A simple example is used here to show that a total transmission of p-polarized waves is also possible in the case of an asymmetric system. 6 references.
