Coefficients are calculated for radiation absorption due to free-free transitions (Bremsstrahlung absorption) in a strong magnetic field where the electron-cyclotron frequency is much greater than the radiation frequency and the cyclotron energy is much greater than the electron temperature. Using standard quantum-mechanical formulas, absorption coefficients are obtained for photons with parallel and perpendicular polarization (relative to the magnetic field). Absorption coefficients for ordinary and extraordinary waves are derived as functions of the obtained expressions, and the emittance per unit volume is determined for quanta characterized by the two polarizations.
