Abstract
Effects of mode number and intensity of the laser beam on eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of electromagnetic waves in inhomogeneous collisionless and collisional plasmas and their stability to the stimulated Brillouin backscattering are investigated. The nonlinearity in the collisionless is due to the ponderomotive force and the Ohmic heating arises in the collisional case. It is obtained the electric field equation and distribution of the modified electron density in collisionless and collisional plasmas. Eigenmodes and eigenfunctions in the presence of the linear inhomogeneity of the plasma are obtained. it is observed that by increasing the number of modes, the group velocity and amplitude of the electric field decrease. It is also studied the conservation of particles in collisionless and collisional plasmas. It is obtained that the nonlinear electromagnetic waves in collisionless inhomogeneous plasmas are susceptible to stimulated Brillouin backscattering. Finally, it is indicated that by increasing the number of modes, the growth rate of the instability increases.
期刊介绍:
High Energy Density Physics is an international journal covering original experimental and related theoretical work studying the physics of matter and radiation under extreme conditions. ''High energy density'' is understood to be an energy density exceeding about 1011 J/m3. The editors and the publisher are committed to provide this fast-growing community with a dedicated high quality channel to distribute their original findings.
Papers suitable for publication in this journal cover topics in both the warm and hot dense matter regimes, such as laboratory studies relevant to non-LTE kinetics at extreme conditions, planetary interiors, astrophysical phenomena, inertial fusion and includes studies of, for example, material properties and both stable and unstable hydrodynamics. Developments in associated theoretical areas, for example the modelling of strongly coupled, partially degenerate and relativistic plasmas, are also covered.
