Parametric excitation of an ion-acoustic wave by a left circularly polarized wave of a frequency near the electron frequency in a high-density, quasi-isothermal plasma (Ti∼Te) has been studied. The instability may occur with realistic input power, and bulk ion heating is expected. It is also found that a higher ion temperature favors the instability.
