Abstract

Relativistic third harmonic generation in a plasma is investigated. The growth of a third harmonic wave is limited by the difference between the phase velocity of the pump and driven waves. This phase velocity mismatch results in a third harmonic amplitude saturation and oscillation. In order to overcome this saturation, we describe a phase-matching scheme based on a resonant density modulation. The limitations of this scheme are analyzed.
