Abstract

The scattering of transverse electromagnetic waves by turbulent density fluctuations in a magnetized plasma in the presence of external pump fields is investigated. The case where a lower-hybrid pump wave decays into daughter and ion-cyclotron waves in a plasma with ion-temperature anisotropy is considered. The situation where an upper-hybrid pump wave parametrically excites modified convective cells and electron drift waves is also analyzed. The differential scattering cross-sections in the region above the parametric instability thresholds for these three cases are calculated.
