Abstract

The temporal growth and spatial dependence of a three-wave backscatter parametric instability are obtained for a weakly inhomogeneous but finite plasma. In contrast to the case of an infinite plasma, a slowly varying phase mismatch does not lead to the saturation of the temporal instability.
