CYCLOTRON ECHO PHENOMENA.
Abstract
Experimental observations and theories of pulse stimulated radiation phenomena in plasmas are reviewed. The motions of an ensemble of non-interacting electrons in a magnetic field is considered and it is shown that cyclotron echoes in plasmas can arise out of various types of nonlinearities: (a) energy dependent electron cyclotron frequency, (b) energy dependent electron collision frequency, (c) energy dependent driving force. The similarities and differences with spin and photon echoes is discussed, and several new related phenomena are also described. (Author)
