Stimulated scattering instabilities of electromagnetic waves in an ultracold quantum plasma
Abstract
The nonlinear interaction between a large-amplitude electromagnetic wave (EMW) and low-frequency electron and ion plasma oscillations in a quantum plasma is considered. By using the Maxwell equations and the quantum hydrodynamic equations, a system of equations, which shows the nonlinear couplings between the EMWs and the electrostatic plasma oscillations, is derived. The nonlinear mode coupled equations are then Fourier analyzed to obtain the dispersion relation which exhibits decay and modulational instabilities. The relevance of such an investigation of stimulated scattering of light off plasmons in ultracold quantum plasmas is noted.
