Abstract :
The nonlinear dispersion relation for an electromagnetic wave propagating through a cold, homogeneous magnetized rotating plasma is derived to investigate certain nonlinear effect for the case where only the Coriolis force part of the consequences of rotation is taken into account. Characteristics of variation of refractive indices with variation of the wave amplitude and rotational frequency are discussed. It is shown that the nonlinear effects considerably influence the propagation of waves in rotating plasmas
