Modeling of stimulated Brillouin scattering in expanding plasmas

Stimulated Raman and Brillouin Scattering Processes in Centrosymmetric Semiconductor Plasmas

A simple analytical treatment based on the hydrodynamical model of plasmas is developed to study both steady-state and transient stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering processes in centrosymmetric or weakly noncentrosymmetric semiconductors. Gain constants, threshold-pump intensities, and optimum pulse durations for the onset of Raman and Brillouin instabilities are estimated. The qualitativ...

Multibeam stimulated brillouin scattering from hot, solid-target plasmas.

We report on multibeam, laser-plasma interaction experiments in plasmas relevant to future direct-drive-ignition experiments. Six interaction beams are incident on preformed plasmas containing critical density. Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) shows strong evidence of electromagnetic wave seeding of side- and backscattering. The data are also consistent with shared ion waves driven by the ...

Suppression of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering

Comprehensive Theoretical Study on Threshold Power of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Single-Mode Fibers

We have investigated and developed a theoretical approach to explore stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) phenomena in single mode fiber. SBS happening threshold power condition has been studied in terms of fiber parameters and input pump power. To assess threshold power precisely, the pump depletion effect and fiber loss has been included by employing 1% criterion. The threshold exponential g...

Near-forward Stimulated Brillouin Scattering

LLE Review, Volume 72 177 In stimulated Brillouin scattering1 (SBS) an incident (pump) light wave is scattered by the electron-density fluctuations associated with an ion-acoustic (sound) wave. This process generates a frequency-upshifted (anti-Stokes) light wave and a frequency-downshifted (Stokes) light wave. For most scattering angles the anti-Stokes wave is driven nonresonantly and can be n...
