Abstrakt

Nonlinear Raman forward scattering (NRFS) in the propagation of an X-mode laser pulse in a magnetized
cold plasma channel is analyzed for the third harmonic scattered waves. 3rd harmonic nonlinear wave
equation is set up to obtain the coupling equations and dispersion relation of excited upper-hybrid wave.
Using Fourier transform and matching condition, the nonlinear growth rate of third harmonic NRFS is
analytically calculated. It is shown that unlike the fundamental NRFS, the growth rate of third harmonic
NRFS instability increases by increasing the external magnetic field.
