You're in the right area. It comes from a paper on the radiation of a
moving charge:

"Dabei gilt die folgende Bedingung als Ausdruck der Transversalität
der Schwingungen und der Annahme, dass auch der Fall der
Erregungslosigkeit möglich ist:"


See, that's why context is useful. Schwingungserregung is excitation of
oscillation, and the text is talking about the fact that there might be a
case of (I suppose) non-excitation or absence of excitation of those
oscillations.

BP:

"Quiescent" would then generically apply, although I would suspect a
specialist term which I am
not at liberty to recall. See:
