Extract

Comprehensive comments on the theory of stimulated scattering instabilities of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in magnetized plasmas are presented. It is shown that our general dispersion relations are appropriate for deducing valuable information regarding the growth rates of scattering instabilities and the long-term evolution of modulationally unstable waves in space and laboratory plasmas as well as in astrophysical settings.
