The nonlinear orbit equations are investigated analytically and numerically for a constant-amplitude electromagnetic wave (ωs, ks) with ordinary-mode polarization propagating perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B0 êz. Relativisitic electron dynamics are essential in determining the maximum orbit excursion when the incident wave frequency ωs is near the nth harmonic of the electron cyclotron frequency Ωc. Coupled nonlinear equations are obtained for the slow evolution of the amplitude A(т) and phase ø(t) of the perpendicular orbit when ωs ≈ nΩc. The dynamical equations are reduced to quadrature and simplified analytically. At exact resonance (ωs = nΩc), if relativistic effects are (incorrectly) neglected, the maximum orbit excursion Amax approaches the unacceptably large value determined from the first (non-zero) solution to Jn(ns ΩsAmax) = 0, which totally invalidates the non-relativistic approximation. (Here ns Ωs = cks/Ωc.) As a contrasting illustrative example, for n = 1, ωs = Ωc and moderate pump strength, weak relativistic effects limit the maximum orbit excursion to the approximate value , where єs = ns ωs (Vz/c) Vq/c ≪ 1, and Vq is the axial quiver velocity in the applied oscillatory field. Physically, relativistic effects produce a nonlinear frequency shift that dynamically ‘detunes’ the particle motion from exact cyclotron resonance, thereby limiting amplitude growth.
