Mechanism for Plasma Maser without Electron Population Inversion
Abstract
The amplification condition of Langmuir wave in the presence of ion wave turbulence is obtained for the Maxwell distribution function of electrons. The physical mechanism responsible for the plasma maser theory is clarified based on high frequency nonlinear forces.
