A versatile matrix-based solution for the two plasmon decay instability

A Floquet-based solution of the equations governing the two plasmon decay (TPD) instability which is valid over a range of plasma densities is presented. The capability to include a large number of modes allows the validity of conventional fluid-based analytic solutions at densities differing from q...
