Backscattering of electromagnetic waves from electrostatic waves in a magnetized plasma

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6630803
Stimulated backscattering which arises from the parametric decay of an intense electromagnetic wave into an electrostatic wave and a backscattered electromagnetic wave is investigated. The analysis is facilitated by derivation of a pair of coupled differential equations for the amplitudes of the backscattered and scatterer waves by using Maxwell's equations and two fluid equations for homogeneous, inhomogeneous, bounded and unbounded magnetized plasmas.
