A straightforward analytic theory is presented for the stimulated Raman sidescattering instability in an inhomogeneous plasma. The Liu--Rosenbluth perturbation technique in k space (Phys. Fluids 19, 967 (1976)) is used. The effects of oblique incidence of the light wave, the dispersion of the plasma waves, and the damping of the daughter waves are included. Possible experimental signatures are discussed.
