Ion-ripple laser. which consists of a relativistic electron beam obliq
uely propagating through an ion-ripple in a plasma, is investigated by
nonlinear numerical simulation. The influence of the component of the
ion-ripple field parallel to the beam direction on beam-wave interact
ion is analyzed. The results show that the longitudinal component of t
he ion-ripple field has a considerable influence on ion-ripple laser.
The operating parameters are also optimized.
