Description

We derive precisely the results of streaming (V0Ω/sub e/) and Alfven's (ω<Ω/sub I/) mode. The electroncyclotron resonance reveals that the phase velocity (ω/k) is of the order of the velocity of light, and the refractive index is unity for moderate streaming velocity. However, for ion fusion mode, the corresponding ω/k approaches 102 in a dense refractive medium for low ion cyclotron frequency. Moreover, with Ω/sub I/ = 104 rad/sec, luminous waves are generated. Early isotropic results are also recovered in our analysis
