Abstract:
The parametric decay of an intense, coherent electromagnetic wave into a plasma wave and scattered electromagnetic waves in a homogeneous plasma stimulated Raman scattering is generalized to include coupling of secondary waves in the plasma. The secondary waves consist of a plasma wave harmonic and its associated mixed electromagnetic-electrostatic sidebands. Explicit results are obtained for wave amplitudes and nonlinear growth rates when gamma t or 1, where gamma is the linear growth rate of the fundamental. It is shown that, in this regime, the nonlinear growth rate gamma sub NL is 2 gamma3. Author
