Nonlinear backward stimulated Raman scattering from electron beam acoustic modes in the kinetic regime

Journal Article Yin, L ; Daughton, W ; Albright, B J ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The backward stimulated Raman scattering (BSRS) of a laser from electron beam acoustic modes (BAM) in the presence of self-consistent non-Maxwellian velocity distributions is examined by linear theory and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations in one and two dimensions (1D and 2D). The BAM evolve from Langmuir waves (LW) as electron trapping modifies the distribution to a non-Maxwellian form that exhibits a beam component. Linear dispersion relations using the nonlinearly modified distribution from simulations are solved for the electrostatic modes involved in the parametric coupling. Results from linear analysis agree well with electrostatic spectra from simulations. It is shown that the intersectionmore »« less

Spatially autoresonant stimulated Raman scattering in inhomogeneous plasmas in the kinetic regime

Journal Article Chapman, T ; Hueller, S ; Pesme, D ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The impact of spatial autoresonance on backward stimulated Raman scattering in inhomogeneous plasmas is investigated in the regime where the dominant nonlinear frequency shift of the Langmuir wave is due to kinetic effects. By numerically solving the coupled mode equations, the spatial growth of the Langmuir wave is observed to self-adjust so as to cancel the detuning from resonance due to inhomogeneity, giving rise to phase-locked solutions to the electron plasma wave equation. For a single resonant point in a linear density profile, the envelope of the electron plasma wave is characterized by a growth that begins at the resonantmore »« less

Mitigation of stimulated Raman scattering in the kinetic regime by external magnetic fields

Journal Article Winjum, B. J. ; Tsung, F. S. ; Mori, W. B. - Physical Review E

Here, we show via particle-in-cell simulations that small normalized magnetic fields (ω_c/ω_p << 1) can significantly modify the evolution of backward stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in the kinetic regime due to the enhanced dissipation of nonlinear electron plasma waves propagating perpendicular to magnetic fields. A magnetic field applied perpendicularly to the electron plasma wave (and driving light wave) increases the SRS threshold for kinetic inflation and decreases the amount of reflectivity when SRS is driven significantly above threshold. Analysis indicates that this arises because trapped electrons are accelerated as they surf across the wave, leading to the continual dissipation ofmore »« less

Interactions of laser speckles due to kinetic stimulated Raman scattering

Journal Article Winjum, B. J. ; Tableman, A. ; Tsung, F. S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We examine the possible interactions of two laser speckles due to the exchange of electrons and waves generated by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) using two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. By controlling the relative polarization, spatial placement, and timing of two laser speckles, one above-threshold and one below-threshold for SRS, we isolate and characterize SRS growth stimulated in below-threshold speckles. SRS in the below-threshold speckle is shown to be triggered by energetic electrons, scattered light waves, and scattered plasma waves generated from the above-threshold speckle. As a result, we show that scattered light or electrons alone can be an intermediary trigger for SRS.

Suppression of stimulated Raman scattering due to localization of electron plasma wave in laser beam filaments

Journal Article Sharma, Prerana ; Sharma, R P - Physics of Plasmas

The filamentation of the high power laser beam by taking off-axial contribution is investigated when ponderomotive nonlinearity is taken into account. The splitted profile of the laser beam is obtained due to uneven focusing of the off-axial rays. It is observed that the weak electron plasma wave (EPW) propagating in the z direction is nonlinearly coupled in the modified filamentary regions of the laser beam. The semianalytical solution of the nonlinear coupled EPW equation in the presence of laser beam filaments has been found and it is observed that the nonlinear coupling between these two waves leads to localization ofmore »« less
