Abstract
The plasma wave, generated in stimulated Raman scattering process by an intense laser in the plasmas, traps a significant number of electrons in its potential energy minima. These electrons travel with the phase velocity of plasma wave and oscillate with bounce frequency. When the bounce frequency of electrons becomes equal to the growth rate of Raman process, resonance takes place. Now, Raman scattering gets modified by parametrically exciting a trapped electron mode and an electromagnetic sideband. The ponderomotive force due to the pump and sideband drives the plasma wave, whereas the density perturbation due to the trapped electron mode couples with the oscillating velocity of electrons due to the laser to produce a nonlinear current, driving the sideband.
