Abstract

Multipeak solitons and nonlinear modulated solutions in plasma under relativistic electromagnetic field are investigated. The incident electromagnetic field is allowed to have a nonzero initial constant amplitude. Some interesting numerical results are obtained including multipeak laser pulse and a single or/and multipeak plasma wave structure. It is also found that there exists a combination of soliton-like and oscillation waves for the plasma electrostatic field.

Relativistically intense plane electromagnetic waves in electron-positron plasmas: Nonlinear self-modulation and harmonics generation regimes

Journal Article Shiryaev, O B - Physics of Plasmas

A fully nonlinear one-dimensional problem describing the interactions of relativistically intense plane electromagnetic waves and cold locally non-neutral electron-positron plasmas is derived from Maxwell and fluid dynamics equations. Numerical and asymptotic solutions to this problem for phase velocities close to the speed of light are presented. Depending on the magnitude of the plasma longitudinal electric-field potential, the system considered is found to support two distinct regimes of plane electromagnetic wave propagation: a nonlinear self-modulation one with the coupling of a fast transversely polarized electromagnetic field to a slow longitudinal plasma field, and a harmonics generation one with both of thesemore »« less

Derivation of nonlinear Schroedinger equation for electrostatic and electromagnetic waves in fully relativistic two-fluid plasmas by the reductive perturbation method

Journal Article Lee, Nam C - Physics of Plasmas

The reductive perturbation method is used to derive a generic form of nonlinear Schroedinger equation (NLSE) that describes the nonlinear evolution of electrostatic (ES)/electromagnetic (EM) waves in fully relativistic two-fluid plasmas. The matrix eigenvector analysis shows that there are two mutually exclusive modes of waves, each mode involving only either one of two electric potentials, A and {phi}. The general result is applied to the electromagnetic mode in electron-ion plasmas with relativistically high electron temperature (T{sub e} Much-Greater-Than m{sub e}c{sup 2}). In the limit of high frequency (ck Much-Greater-Than {omega}{sub e}), the NLSE predicts bump type electromagnetic soliton structures havingmore »« less

Envelope solitons associated with electromagnetic waves in a magnetized pair plasma

Journal Article Cattaert, Tom ; Kourakis, Ioannis ; Shukla, P K ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The amplitude modulation of magnetic field-aligned circularly polarized electromagnetic (CPEM) waves in a magnetized pair plasma is reexamined. The nonlinear frequency shifts include the effects of the radiation pressure driven density and compressional magnetic field perturbations as well as relativistic particle mass variations. The dynamics of the modulated CPEM wave packets is governed by a nonlinear Schroedinger equation, which has attractive and repulsive interaction potentials for fast and slow CPEM waves. The modulational stability of a constant amplitude CPEM wave is studied by deriving a nonlinear dispersion from the cubic Schroedinger equation. The fast (slow) CPEM mode is modulationally unstablemore »« less

Modulational instability and envelope-solitons for nonlinear Alfven waves propagating along the magnetic field in cold plasmas

Technical Report Mio, K ; Ogino, T ; Minami, K ; ...

The modulational instability and envelope-solitons for the Alfven waves propagating along the static magnetic field in cold collisionless plasmas are analyzed using the modified nonlinear Schroedinger equation derived previously by the authors. It is shown that the modulational instability exists for a small amplitude but does not for an amplitude larger than the critical value in the case of the left-hand circularly polarized Alfven wave (left Alfven wave). On the other hand, the modulational instability does not exist for the right-hand circularly polarized Alfven wave (right Alfven wave). Without the modulational instability, the rarefactive and compressive envelope-solitons exist for themore »« less
Dynamics of electromagnetic solitons in a relativistic plasma

Journal Article Mancic, Ana ; Hadzievski, Ljupco ; Skoric, Milos M ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Dynamical features of one-dimensional electromagnetic solitons formed in a relativistic interaction of a linearly polarized laser light with underdense cold plasma are investigated. The relativistic Lorentz force in an intense laser light pushes electrons into longitudinal motion, generating coupled longitudinal-transverse waves. In a weakly relativistic approximation these modes are well described by the generalized nonlinear Schroedinger type of equation, with two extra nonlocal terms. Here, an original analytical solution for a moving electromagnetic soliton is derived in an implicit form. For an isolated soliton, our analysis shows that the motion downshifts the soliton eigenfrequency and decreases its amplitude. The effectmore »« less
