Using a 2.5-D electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) model, very early stages of a generation of the electromagnetic emission produced by a monochromatic Langmuir wave are studied. It is found that the electromagnetic emission, which is dominant on the harmonic of the plasma frequency, starts to be generated in a very small region of k-vectors. Later on the k-vectors of this emission are scattered around a ‘circle’ (in our 2-D case), given by the relations for the L+L'→T process. Analytical analysis of two subsequent processes L→L'+S a L+L'→T confirms these results.
