Abstract :
Electron plasma waves excitation in suddenly created isotropic plasma as a result of weak nonlinear interaction of linearly polarized plane electromagnetic (EM) wave and electrons has been considered. By the use of standard perturbation method the problem is solved in closed form for the case of a simple harmonic source EM wave. The appearance of the second harmonic and time independent modes have been demonstrated. The efficiency of excitation of these modes is possible to control by varying the frequency of the source wave.
