Abstract

Scattering of electromagnetic and electrostatic waves by one-dimensional Langmuir solitons in a uniform and isotropic plasma is studied analytically using a perturbation method. Mode conversion via scattering by solitons is also considered. The results are also relevant for the case of ion-acoustic solitons.
