Anti-Stokes scattering and Stokes scattering of stimulated Brillouin scattering cascade in high-intensity laser–plasma interaction

چکیده
Anti-Stokes scattering and Stokes scattering in stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) cascades have been researched using the Vlasov–Maxwell simulation. In high-intensity laser–plasma interactions, stimulated anti-Stokes Brillouin scattering (SABS) will occur after second stage SBS rescattering. The mechanism of SABS has been put forward to explain this phenomenon. In the early phase of SBS evolution, only first stage SBS appears and total SBS reflectivity comes from first stage SBS. However, when high-stage SBS and SABS occur, SBS reflectivity will display burst behavior and the total reflectivity comes from the SBS cascade and SABS superimposition. The SABS will compete with the SBS rescattering to determine the total SBS reflectivity. Thus, SBS rescattering including SABS is an important saturation mechanism of SBS and should be taken into account in high-intensity laser–plasma interaction.

LLE Review, Volume 98 73 Introduction Stimulated brillouin scattering (SBS) is the decay of an incident (pump) light wave into a frequency-downshifted (Stokes) light wave and an ion-acoustic (sound) wave.1 It is important in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments because it scatters laser light away from the target, which reduces the laser energy that is available to drive the compressio...

In this paper, by including Raman scattering in the coupled-mode equations, the scalar modulation instability in photonic crystal fibers is investigated. The evolution of the pump, Stokes and anti-Stokes waves along the fiber as well as the conversion efficiency for two cases, with and without Raman effect, are studied. The effect of anti-Stokes seed and the pump depletion on the evolution of S...
