Excitation of electron plasma waves

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6898759
The excitation of electron plasma waves by interaction of two electromagnetic waves is examined. Analysis is based on Maxwell's equations and the electron-gas moment equations. Formulas are derived for power absorption densities. Effects of static magnetic fields and inhomogeneties on absorption efficiency are studied numerically. Stimulated Raman backscattering of electromagnetic waves from electron plasma waves in magnetized plasma is also investigated. Formulas are derived for the growth rate and threshold power associated with scattering from Langmuir and upper-hybrid waves in a homogeneous plasma. An analysis of spatial amplification of the decay waves in an inhomogeneous plasma is presented.
