Description

The ordinary mode damping near the electron-cyclotron frequency is investigated using the relativistic dispersion relation. It is shown that the Doppler splitting of the absorption spectrum claimed by Arunasalam etal. [Phys. Rev. A 36, 3909 (1987); 37, 2063 (1988)] is an erroneous result obtained from an oversimplified dispersion relation and assuming an infinite speed of light in the resonance condition
