The physics of laser plasma interactions
Book
·
OSTI ID:7016347
The interactions of laser plasmas are considered theoretically in an introduction for advanced students and practicing scientists. Chapters are devoted to the basic concepts and two-fluid descriptions of plasmas, computer simulations of plasmas using particle codes, EM wave propagation in plasmas, propagation of obliquely incident light waves in inhomogeneous plasmas, collisional absorption of EM waves, and parametric excitation of electron and ion waves. Consideration is given to stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering, heating by plasma waves, density-profile modification, the nonlinear features of underdense plasma instabilities, electron energy transport, and laser plasma experiments. 94 refs.
