Generating axial magnetic fields via two plasmon decay driven by a twisted laser

We propose an efficient way of axial magnetic fields generation in a nonrelativistic laser intensity regime by using a twisted light carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) to stimulate two-plasmon decay (TPD) in a plasma. The growth of TPD driven by an OAM light in a Laguerre-Gauss (LG) mode is inv...
