Polarization effects in parametric interaction between transverse electromagnetic waves and high-current relativistic electron beams
Abstract
Three-wave parametric interaction is considered between two transverse arbitrarily polarized electromagnetic waves and space charge waves in a high-current relativistic electron beam. A theory of three-wave parametric interaction is developed. It is shown that during interaction the polarizations of the electromagnetic waves always tend to become equal, and this is accompanied by a change in the initial oscillation phases of the interacting waves.
