Excitation of a short-wavelength spectrum of surface waves in a plasma by an intense electromagnetic radiation
The modulation instability of the surface charge density oscillations, which develops as a result of application of an intense electromagnetic pump wave (El ^Airne Te) on the plasma, causes intense rf oscillations of the reflection factor of this wave. The energy of the small-scale excitations per unit area is on the order of cEl[mt/m€Yn/4ira>.
