Side-scattering of an ordinary electromagnetic wave by electron-acoustic oscillations
Abstract
The scattering of an ordinary electromagnetic wave into a circularly polarized wave by electron-acoustic oscillations is considered.
In this paper, we consider a parametric instability involving electron-acoustic waves which does not have a counterpart in a hot electron plasma, namely the scattering of an ordinary electromagnetic wave into a circularly polarized wave by electron-acoustic waves.- Publication:
