Excitation and conversion of electromagnetic waves in pulsar magnetospheres.
We demonstrate that nonlinear decay of obliquely propagating Langmuir waves into Langmuir and Alfvén waves (L --> L' + A) is possible in a one-dimensional, highly relativistic, streaming pair plasma. Such a plasma may be in the magnetospheres of pulsars. It is shown that the characteristic frequency of generated Alfvén waves is much less than the frequency of Langmuir waves and may be consisten...
متن کاملConversion of electrostatic to electromagnetic waves by superluminous ionization fronts.
The conversion of static electric fields to electromagnetic radiation by the incidence of a superluminous ionization front on plasma is investigated. For extremely superluminous fronts, the radiation is close to the plasma frequency and is converted with efficiency of order unity. A proof-of-principle experiment was conducted using semiconductor plasma containing an alternately charged capacito...
متن کاملTransverse Electromagnetic Mode Conversion for High-Harmonic Self-Probing Spectroscopy
We report on high-order harmonic (HHG) two-source interferometry (TSI) in molecular gases. We used a 0-π phase plate to create two bright spots at the focus of a lens by converting a Gaussian laser beam into a TEM01 Transverse Electromagnetic Mode. The two bright foci produce two synchronized HHG sources. One of them is used to probe on-going dynamics in the generating medium, while the other s...
متن کاملElectromagnetic particle simulation of the linear mode conversion and the nonlinear parametric decay instability of lower hybrid waves in tokamaks
In plasma simulations where the speed of light times a characteristic length is at a much higher frequency than the relevant parameters in the system, such as the plasma frequency, implicit methods begin to play an important role in generating e cient solutions in these multi-scale problems. Under conditions of scale separation, one can rescale Maxwell’s equations in such a way as to give a mag...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Physical Nature of Coronal “EIT Waves”
For almost 20 years the physical nature of globally propagating waves in the solar corona (commonly called "EIT waves") has been controversial and subject to debate. Additional theories have been proposed over the years to explain observations that did not agree with the originally proposed fast-mode wave interpretation. However, the incompatibility of observations made using the Extreme-ultrav...
