Effects of anisotropic ion-wave damping in stimulated Brillouin scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The effects of anisotropic ion-wave damping in stimulated Brillouin scattering, including rescattering, are investigated. Anisotropy is shown to reduce substantially the limiting (infinite plasma) reflection even at modest levels of ..beta..=..nu../sub +//..nu../sub -/, the ratio of the ion-wave-damping rates.
