Abstract
Simulations using a two-dimensional electromagnetic and relativistic p article code show that high-frequency Langmuir waves can be generated by a plasma maser mechanism from low-frequency whistler waves excited by electron temperature anisotropy. It is confirmed that the plasma ma ser mechanism does not require an electron beam component for the gene ration of high-frequency Langmuir waves. We are forced to reconsider t he emission mechanism of Langmuir waves observed in space plasmas.
