Abstract
Observation of the parametric-modulational interaction between the drift-wave fluctuation (7–8 kHz) and azimuthally symmetric sheared radial electric field structure (∼0.4 kHz) in a cylindrical laboratory plasma is presented. Oscillation of the sheared radial electric field is synchronized at modulations of the radial wave number and Reynolds stress per mass density of the drift-wave spectrum. Bispectral analysis at the location where the sheared radial electric field has finite radial wave numbers shows that nonlinear energy transfers from the drift wave to the sheared radial electric field occur. Nonlocal energy transfers of fluctuations via “channel of the azimuthally symmetric sheared radial electric field” in spectral space as well as real space are discovered.
