Abstract

A nonlinear emission mechanism of electromagnetic waves at the fundamental plasma frequency has been examined by Chian & Alves. This mechanism is based on the electromagnetic oscillating two-stream instability driven by two oppositely propagating Langmuir waves. The excitation of the electromagnetic oscillating two-stream instability is due to nonlinear wave–wave coupling involving Langmuir waves, low-frequency density waves and electromagnetic waves. In this paper the Chian & Alves model is improved using the generalized Zakharov equations. Attention is directed toward the influence of induced low-frequency and Langmuir waves on the properties of the electromagnetic oscillating two-stream instability. Presumably, the properties derived in the present context may be relevant to both space and laboratory plasmas.
