Abstract

This monograph is devoted to theoretical research on the interaction of intense electromagnetic radiation with unmagnetized fully ionized plasmas. It derives partly from a number of theoretical numerical investigations of the authors on processes as harmonic generation, stimulated Mandelstam-Brillouin scattering, stimulated Raman scattering and density profile modification. In all of these cases the plasma reacts nonlinearly on an externally applied electromagnetic wave.
