DYNAMIC NON-LINEAR ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE PROPAGA TION AND HARMONIC RADIATION IN MAGNETO-IONIC MEDIA

Abstract

This report extends the author's non-linear propagation studies to a magneto-ionic medium. The limitation is that all wave normals have been assumed to be parallel. It is shown that, as expected, travelling wave resonances occur in the magneto-ionic medium, not only between waves of the same kind (e.g., between waves of ordi nary polarization) but equally frequently be tween waves of opposite kinds. From the non linear interaction point of view there, thus, is not much difference, at least in principle, be tween the ordinary and extraordinary waves. One also finds, which is of interest in this connection, that the second order non-linear waves are characterized by two different kinds of polarization which become equal only at travelling wave resonance.
