Nonlinear Shifts of Refractive Indices from Obliquely Propagating Waves in a Magnetised Plasma in the Presence of Coriolis Rotation

Abstract

This paper provides an expression for the nonlinear shifts of refractive indices from obliquely propagating waves in a cold, homogeneous, magnetised rotating plasma in the presence of a Coriolis force. The effects of gyrofrequency, rotational frequency, and the amplitude of the waves on the nonlinear shifts of refractive indices are discussed. It is found that these parameters play a dominant role in the nonlinear shifts of refractive indices and the results are more general than those of earlier workers.
