For some time now there has been an interest in the nop. linear
interaction of electromagnetic waves in plasma [1,2]. But only in
the last few years has the theory of nonlinear wave inter action
effects undergone such vigorous development as to result in the
formulation of clear phYSical concepts regarding the mech anisms of
interaction. This development has been engendered by attempts to
solve many of the plasma-physical problems accom panying the
tremendous growth of experimental research [3]. The importance of
nonlinear effects in modern plasma physics is dis cussed in detail
in Chap. I. At this point we merely stress the fact that today the
analysis of nonlinear effects is a practical ne cessity in any
experiment involving plasma instabilities. We should also point out
that plasma instabilities can assert them selves extensively in
solids (solid state plasma) and play an im portant part in the
study of cosmic plasma. Consequently, the problems of nonlinear
wave interaction in plasma are of concern to those working in
widely different areas of physics. Yet it is difficult to
assimilate the results of investigations on nonlinear effects,
owing to the complicated way in which the results of orig inal
research are presented. In the present book the author hopes in
some measure to fill the need for a text on the physics of non
linear effects that is accessible to a fairly general audience.
