Growth of laser ripple in a collisional magnetoplasma and its effect on plasma wave excitation

  • 1. Department of Physics, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar (India)

Description

Growth of a radially symmetrical ripple, superimposed on a Gaussian laser beam in collisional magnetoplasma is investigated. The effect of the magnetic field and the intensity of the laser on the growth of ripple is presented. Furthermore, the effect of the growing ripple on the excitation of an electron plasma wave has also been studied. The combined effect of increased intensity and magnetic field is observed to suppress the growth of ripple as well as the excitation of the plasma wave. (author)
