Convective Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in One- and Two-Ion Plasmas

چکیده
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 compression of the nuclear fuel.2

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...
متن کاملMultibeam 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 ...

LLE Review, Volume 67 119 The experimental study of parametric instabilities in longscale-length laser plasmas is very important for inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Backscattered light near the incident light wavelength has been observed in many laserplasma experiments and is generally attributed to stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS).1,2 Stimulated Brillouin scattering is a parametric ins...
