Stimulated backscattering of electromagnetic ordinary waves from extraordinary waves below the upper hybrid frequency

The parametric decay of an intense electromagnetic ordinary wave, propagating perpendicular to a uniform static magnetic field, into an extraordinary wave and a backscattered ordinary wave is investigated. Formulae are derived for the growth rate and threshold power associated with the instability in a homogeneous plasma. An analysis of the spatial amplification of the decay waves in an inhomogeneous plasma is presented. The effects of the uniform static magnetic field on the backscattering in both homogeneous and inhomogeneous plasmas are studied numerically.
