Abstract
The Tripathi-Liu [Phys. Plasmas 1, 990 (1994)] model of magnetic-field generation due to an amplitude-modulated laser in a plasma is revisit ed. At plasma resonance, where modulation frequency equals the plasma frequency, significant enhancement in the magnetic field is seen. The magnetic field is found to scale directly with laser intensity and pla sma frequency, while scaling inversely with laser spot site. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
