Detuning effect of negative ions on ion-acoustic-decay instabilities of electromagnetic waves
- Department of Physics, Inje University, Kimhae, Kyungnahm, 621-749, South (Korea)
It is proved analytically in the fluid-Maxwell theory of plasma that negative ions can stabilize the ion-acoustic-decay instability of electromagnetic waves by changing and making off-resonant the electron plasma wave frequency. The number density ratio of negative to positive ions that is needed to suppress the instability scales with the square root of the pump intensity difference from the minimum threshold. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
