Abstract

The emission of extraordinary mode radiation in a plasma with Langmuir turbulence driven by an electron beam is considered. The process of emission considered in this paper is the plasma maser effect, which is essentially an energy up-conversion process. The energy necessary for the growth of the extraordinary mode is derived from the Langmuir turbulence. The nonlinear dispersion relation of the extraordinary mode in the presence of Langmuir turbulence is obtained and its growth rate calculated. The scope of application of the results to space-plasma observation is then stressed.
