摘要:
In this paper, we report theoretical modeling for parametric decay instability of the high-intensity elliptically polarized laser beam [pump wave, (x0)]. A wave–wave interaction model is investigated, based on the decay of the high-intensity elliptically polarized laser (x0) into an oblique whistler wave (OWW, ex1T) and a kinetic Alfv(cid:2)en wave (KAW, ex2T). The importance of oblique whistler waves (OWWs, ex1T) and kinetic Alfv(cid:2)en waves (KAWs, ex2T) similar to solar wind spectra [Chatterjee et al., Nat. Commun. 8, 15970 (2017)] has been pointed out, as a means to understand the turbulent magnetic ?eld ampli?cation, implicating electron and ion dynamics [Chatterjee et al., Nat. Commun. 8, 15970 (2017); Tzeferacos et al., Nat. Commun. 9, 591 (2018); Meinecke et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 112, 8211 (2015); Mondal et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 109, 8011 (2012); Romagnani et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 025001 (2019); Perri et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 191101 (2012); and Adak et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 115001 (2015)]. In the nonlinear stage, the decay instability is expected to attain the turbulent state, via a cascade process or ?lamentation/modulation instability (oscillating two stream instability). Therefore, in the present paper, we have considered the ?rst part of this research, namely, the beating mechanism ex2 ? x0 (cid:2) x1T, induced due to the nonlinear interaction of elliptically polarized laser velocity and oblique whistler wave density perturbation. The nonlinear saturation will be conferred in future investigations. Besides turbulence, the relevance of the present work to terahertz radiation generation [Singh et al., Europhys. Lett. 104, 35002 (2013); Dewan et al., Phys. Plasmas 25, 103105 (2018); Singh et al., Phys. Plasmas 18, 022304 (2011); M. Singh and R. P. Sharma, Contrib.

(Elsevier, 2008), Chap. 2] and fast ignition laser fusion [Kumar et al., arXiv:1804.02200 (2018)] by ion heating has been emphasized. The coef?cients for the nonlinear coupling pertaining to this parametric decay process and the growth rate of the decay instability are investigated.
