AbstractThe three-dimensional instability of two coupled electromagnetic waves in an unmagnetized plasma is investigated theoretically and numerically. In the regime of two-plasmon decay, where one pump wave frequency is approximately twice the electron plasma frequency, we find that the coupled pump waves give rise to enhanced instability with wavevectors between those of the two beams. In the case of ion parametric decay instability, where the pump wave decays into one Langmuir wave and one ion acoustic wave, the instability regions are added with no distinct amplification. Our investigation can be useful in interpreting laser-plasma as well as ionospheric heating experiments.

An investigation is made of wave generation and radiation of third harmonics by s-polarized electromagnetic waves incident on a narrow inhomogeneous layer of a magnetoactive plasma. The amplitudes of the radiated third-harmonic waves are calculated. In contrast with second harmonics, third harmonics are radiated for the case of normally incident waves on an unmagnetized plasma.

Abstract We present a quantum kinetic theory for spin-1/2 particles, including the spin–orbit interaction, retaining particle dispersive effects to all orders in $$\hbar $$ ħ , based on a gauge-invariant Wigner transformation. Compared to previous works, the spin–orbit interaction leads to a new term in the kinetic equation, containing both the electric and magnetic fields. Like other models with spin–orbit interactions, our model features “hidden momentum”. As an example application, we calculate the dispersion relation for linear electrostatic waves in a magnetized plasma, and electromagnetic waves in a unmagnetized plasma. In the former case, we compare the Landau damping due to spin–orbit interactions to that due to the free current. We also discuss our model in relation to previously published works.

The water-based fog screen system for photoelectric interference, with low cost, energy-saving and environmental features, is a new type of interference material. This article describes and investigates the physical characteristics of the water-based fog screen, the principle behind the interference of visible light, infrared and other electromagnetic waves using mist, the composition of the water-based fog screen system and its significance in military applications.

The propagation properties of transverse electromagnetic waves in plasmas are discussed from the point of view of the 13-moment approximation. It is shown that additional modes, termed stress modes, should be able to propagate in a plasma even below the p
