CERTAIN NONLINEAR EFFECTS IN NONCOLLIDING PLASMA AND POSSIBLE PROSPECTS OF THEIR USE,
Abstract
Certain 'weak' nonlinear effects in a plasma excited by electromagnetic waves are discussed. Depending on the type of excitation and the interaction of the plasma with electromagnetic radiation, the pumping of energy from longitudinal waves to transverse waves or the reverse is developed to the point that the radiation may be utilized for heating the plasma or accelerating particles of the plasma. An analysis of the use of one or more ruby lasers to produce these effects is also given. The totality of phenomena discussed are considered to be extraordinarily promising for research in this area.
