Phonon scattering by electrons in a bulk semiconductor in two laser fields in the additional presence of a strong (quantizing) magnetic field is discussed. A kinetic equation for the LO‐phonon population is derived, from which the damping rate is calculated. It is found that longitudinal optical lattice waves may be amplified over a relatively narrow range of plasmon wave numbers in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. Furthermore, the joint action of the three external fields results in a very large amplification rate, in contrast to the zero magnetic field case.
