Abstract
Electromagnetic waves propagating along a dc magnetic field are shown to excite parametrically decay, purely growing, modulational and beat wave instabilities. Particular attention is given to whistler parametric instabilities, including a discussion of their nonlinear development and saturation.Keywords
