An Inverse Scattering Transform for Wave-Wave Scattering.

Abstract

An inverse scattering transform method is outlined for the resonant interaction of two plane waves (an incident wave of amplitude (A sub 1) and radian frequency (Omega sub 1) and a scattered wave of amplitude (A sub 2) and frequency (Omega sub 2) with a medium which can propagate a classical scattering waves (of amplutude Y and frequency (Omega sub 3). The inverse scattering transform method can be veiwed as a nonlinear generalization of the Fourier transform method, and, in the form presented here, it describes the dynamics of the scattering medium Y(x,t). The results can be applied to a variety of physical problems including: (1) Raman and Brillouin scattering of laser light, (2) electromagnetic wave-wave interactions in a plasma, and (3) the distributed parametric amplifier.
