Growth and Saturation of Convective Modes of the Two-Plasmon Decay Instability in Inertial Confinement Fusion

Journal Article Yan, R ; Maximov, A V ; Ren, C ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Particle-in-cell (PIC) and fluid simulations of two-plasmon decay (TPD) instability under conditions relevant to inertial confinement fusion show the importance of convective modes. Growing at the lower density region, the convective modes can cause pump depletion and are energetically dominant in the nonlinear stage. The PIC simulations show that TPD saturates due to ion density fluctuations, which can turn off TPD by raising the instability threshold through mode coupling.

Two-plasmon-decay instability in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion experiments

Journal Article Seka, W ; Edgell, D H ; Myatt, J F ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The two-plasmon-decay (TPD) instability in direct-drive irradiation OMEGA [J. M. Soures, R. L. McCrory, C. P. Verdon, et al., Phys. Plasmas 3, 2108 (1996)] experiments is seen in the half-integer harmonic emission. Experimental time-resolved {omega}/2 and 3{omega}/2 spectra indicate that the linear theory for the absolute TPD instability reasonably predicts TPD thresholds. The plasma wave spectra do not, however, agree at all with the predictions of the linear theory. This is most likely a consequence of the nonlinear evolution of this instability once it is above threshold. This is demonstrated with spectral data obtained from spherical implosion experiments as wellmore »« less

Saturation of the Two-Plasmon Decay Instability in Long-Scale-Length Plasmas Relevant to Direct-Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion

Journal Article Froula, D. H. ; Yaakobi, B. ; Hu, S. X. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Measurements of the hot-electron generation by the two-plasmon-decay instability are made in plasmas relevant to direct-drive inertial confinement fusion. Density-scale lengths of 400 {micro}m at n{sub cr}/4 in planar CH targets allowed the two-plasmon-decay instability to be driven to saturation for vacuum intensities above ~3.5 x 10{sup 14} W cm{sup -2}. In the saturated regime, ~1% of the laser energy is converted to hot electrons. The hot-electron temperature is measured to increase rapidly from 25 to 90 keV as the laser beam intensity is increased from 2 to 7 x 10{sup 14} W cm{sup -2}. This increase in the hot-electronmore »« less
