Abstract

A nonlinear dispersion relation is derived for a homogeneous, magnetized plasma by the conventional ‘ponderomotive force’ method. By using this dispersion relation, various parametric instabilities (stimulated anomalous absorptions and scatterings) are discussed. The results are compared in detail with those obtained by other authors. In the validity region of this model the results derived by previous authors can be recovered. In addition to obtaining a few instabilities which have not been published in the literature, we also find that in general (i) the ‘dipole approximation’ can give the right results for the stimulated anomalous absorption problems and (ii) the ambient magnetic field may enhance the plasma stability.
