Electronic parametric instabilities of an ultrarelativistic circularly
polarized laser pulse propagating in underdense plasmas are studied by
numerically solving the dispersion relation which includes the effect of the
radiation reaction force in laser-driven plasma dynamics. Emphasis is placed on
studying the different modes in the laser-plasma system and identifying the
absolute and convective nature of the unstable modes in a parameter map spanned
by the normalized laser vector potential and the plasma density. Implications
for the ultraintense laser-plasma experiments are pointed out.
