Extraordinary Electromagnetic Wave

The effects of a self-generated magnetic field in a laser produced plasma on the parametric decay of an extraordinary electromagnetic wave into two upper hybrid plasmons is examined for arbitrary magnetic field intensity and arbitrary ratio k/k0. Owing to the presence of magnetic field, the linear Landau damping is greatly reduced and the spectrum of unstable modes is significantly modified for kλD≳ 0·2.
