Boyd, T. J. M., Rankin, Robert. , Gardner, G. A.
Stimulated Raman scattering from a magnetized plasma has been examined using the set of Vlasov–Maxwell equations. The incident laser light, propagating in the form of an extraordinary mode, decays into a scattered extraordinary mode together with electron‐Bernstein waves. For sufficiently strong...

Barr, H. C., Rankin, Robert. , Boyd, T. J. M., Gardner, G. A.
The linear mode conversion of a plasma wave to a light wave in a magnetized plasma has been examined theoretically and by computer simulation. This conversion is the inverse of resonance absorption exhibiting an identical dependence on magnetic field and density scale length with an optimum...

Boyd, T. J. M., Rankin, Robert
A theory of stimulated Raman sidescattering in magnetized plasmas is presented based on a solution of the Vlasov–Maxwell equations. The incident laser light, in the form of extraordinary mode radiation, decays into light waves which propagate along the uniform magnetic field as right or left...

Rankin, Robert, Gardner, L. R. T., Barr, H. C., Boyd, T. J. M.
The effects of a magnetic field on the Raman and two‐plasmon decay instabilities are studied in the region of the quarter‐critical density of laser produced plasmas where both are coincident. Two‐plasmon decay of the incident extraordinary wave into two upper‐hybrid waves may now occur in the...
