Measurement of Forward Raman Scattering and Electron Acceleration from High-Intensity Laser–Plasma Interactions at 527 nm
High-intensity laser–plasma interaction experiments were performed using high-power laser pulses (greater than 8 TW) at a wavelength of 527 nm. These pulses were focused to intensity greater than 10 W/cm into underdense helium plasma at a density of 5 10 cm . Systematic examination of the forward Raman scattering instability was performed by measuring the spectrum of the forward scattered light...
متن کاملStudies of Stimulated Raman Scattering in Laser Plasma Interactions
Coupled theoretical and computational work is presented aimed at understanding and modeling stimulated Raman backscattering (SRBS) relevant to laser-plasma interactions (LPIs) in large-scale, nearly homogeneous plasmas. We address the following five observed, nonlinear phenomena associated with SRBS: coupling of SRBS to Langmuir decay interactions (LDIs); cascading of LDI; SRS cascades; and sti...
متن کاملSideward Stimulated Raman Scattering
The SRS of a short laser pulse is important in the contexts of particle acceleration2 and inertial confinement fusion.3,4 In previous studies of the spatiotemporal evolution of SRS,5–13 the Stokes waves were allowed to pass freely through the pulse boundaries. However, the radial ponderomotive force associated with the pulse can expel plasma from the neighborhood of the pulse axis, in which cas...
متن کاملAmplification of an ultrashort pulse laser by stimulated Raman scattering of a 1 ns pulse in a low density plasma
Experiments are described in which a 1 mJ, 1 ps, 1200 nm seed laser beam is amplified by the interaction with an intersecting 350 J, 1 ns, 1054 nm pump beam in a low density 1 1019 /cm3 plasma. The transmission of the seed beam is observed to be enhanced by 25 when the plasma is near the resonant density for stimulated Raman scattering, compared to measured transmissions at wavelengths just bel...
متن کاملCoherent control of stimulated Raman scattering using chirped laser pulses
A novel method for the control of stimulated Raman scattering and hot electron production in short-pulse laser-plasma interactions is proposed. It relies on the use of a linear frequency chirp in nonbandwidth limited pulses. Theoretical calculations show that a 12% bandwidth will eliminate Raman forward scattering for a plasma density that is 1% of the critical density. The predicted changes to...
