The parametric decay of an obliquely propagating extraordinary electromagnetic wave into another extraordinary electromagnetic wave and a low-frequency electrostatic ion-Bernstein wave viz the stimulated Brillouin scattering process is considered. Explicit expressions for the growth rate and threshold power for this instability have been presented. Applications of the present investigation to fusion plasmas in the end cells of tandem mirrors and the magnetospheric and ionospheric plasmas to explain wave phenomena have been pointed out. The dependence of threshold power on the pump wave angle has also been studied. The general expressions for the growth rate and threshold derived here can also be useful to explain the future experimental data.
