The well-known theory of three-wave parametric instabilities in an inhomogeneous medium is reexamined. An analytic form is obtained for the Green’s function response to an initial δ-function pulse, which allows a more refined assessment of its properties and greater facility in employing it to model realistic initial conditions. Most significantly, it is found that physically realistic initial pulses behave quite differently than would be expected on the basis of the singular δ-function result, and more in accord with what would be expected from the theory of convective instabilities in homogeneous plasmas.
