Parameter choice for a laser beat-wave accelerator

The three-wave interaction in a laser beat-wave accelerator is studied. We find that with the parameters of sigma = ..omega../sub p//(..omega../sub 1/-..omega../sub 2/) and ..beta.. = ..omega../sub 2//..omega../sub 1/ properly chosen (where ..omega../sub p/, ..omega../sub 1/, and ..omega../sub 2/ are the plasma frequency and frequencies of the two laser beams, respectively), the required large-amplitude plasma wave will be excited even though the incident laser beams are relatively weak; as a result, the injected electrons will obtain a significant energy gain.
