Conversion of two ordinary EM waves into an extraordinary wave in a collisionless magnetoplasma

Abstract

This paper presents the investigation of the partial conversion of two ordinary EM waves of frequencies ω1 and ω2 into an extraordinary wave at the difference frequency ω1∼ω2 in a collisionless hot magnetoplasma. The effect of changing the strength of the static magnetic field is to modify the ratio of the electrostatic and EM parts of the extraordinary wave being generated.
