Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) instability due to two nonlinearly coupled laser beams propagating in homogeneous, thermal plasma is analyzed. The temporal evolution equations for pump, scattered and Langmuir waves excited due to the interaction are set up. Using numerical techniques temporal evolution of amplitudes of pump, scattered and resultant Langmuir waves for side and back SRS instabilities have been obtained in the non-relativistic regime. The temporal growth rate, saturation time and saturation amplitude of waves excited by two crossed (perpendicular) lasers are studied and compared with the single beam case. The model considers pump depletion to be the dominant saturation mechanism. The study points towards a new concept for generation of high amplitude Langmuir waves.
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.
