Proving Vector Potential Pump Amplitude-Intensity Relationship

In summary, the relationship between the dimensionless amplitude a of a wave and the intensity I of the wave is given by I = c*B^2 / (magnetic permeability of free space), where B is the magnetic field and A is defined as [mass of electron * c / e ]*a*e^[i*(kx-wt)], with k as the wavenumber given by 2pi / wavelength of laser. The hint suggests taking the divergence of A to find a unique solution for B, but the specific method is not specified.
