Abstract :A Gaussian laser pulse propagating through plasma in the presence of a magnetic wiggler produces third-harmonic radiation. The wiggler`s magnetic field provides additional momentum required for phase matching. The required wiggler wave number is sensitive to pulse duration and amplitude. The efficiency of the process is significant at the instant at which the phase matching condition is satisfied.
