Direct observation of the two-plasmon-decay common plasma wave using ultraviolet Thomson scattering

Journal Article Follett, R. K. ; Edgell, D. H. ; Henchen, R. J. ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics (Print)

A 263-nm Thomson-scattering beam was used to directly probe two-plasmon-decay (TPD) excited electron plasma waves (EPWs) driven by between two and five 351-nm beams on the OMEGA Laser System. The amplitude of these waves was nearly independent of the number of drive beams at constant overlapped intensity, showing that the observed EPWs are common to the multiple beams. In an experimental configuration where the Thomson-scattering diagnostic was not wave matched to the common TPD EPWs, a broad spectrum of TPD-driven EPWs was observed, indicative of nonlinear effects associated with TPD saturation.

Linear regime of two-plasmon decay and stimulated Raman scattering instability near the quarter-critical density in plasmas

Journal Article Wen, H. ; Yan, R. ; Maximov, A. V. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A model for the interaction between the laser light and the plasma waves near the quarter-critical density in plasmas has been studied. This model includes, but is not limited to, the instabilities of two-plasmon decay (TPD) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). The full simulation results show the instability growth in the wavevector domains corresponding to TPD and SRS, respectively, and the domain between those two. The instability growth rates and thresholds can be calculated in our model for the parameters of the inertial confinement fusion experiments without the approximations common in analytical theories.

Plasma characterization using ultraviolet Thomson scattering from ion-acoustic and electron plasma waves (invited)

Journal Article Follett, R. K., E-mail: rfollett@lle.rochester.edu ; Delettrez, J. A. ; Edgell, D. H. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Collective Thomson scattering is a technique for measuring the plasma conditions in laser-plasma experiments. Simultaneous measurements of ion-acoustic and electron plasma-wave spectra were obtained using a 263.25-nm Thomson-scattering probe beam. A fully reflective collection system was used to record light scattered from electron plasma waves at electron densities greater than 10{sup 21} cm{sup −3}, which produced scattering peaks near 200 nm. An accurate analysis of the experimental Thomson-scattering spectra required accounting for plasma gradients, instrument sensitivity, optical effects, and background radiation. Practical techniques for including these effects when fitting Thomson-scattering spectra are presented and applied to the measured spectra tomore »« less

Two-plasmon decay mitigation in direct-drive inertial-confinement-fusion experiments using multilayer targets

Journal Article Follett, R. K. ; Delettrez, J. A. ; Edgell, D. H. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Multilayer direct-drive inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) targets are shown to significantly reduce two-plasmon-decay (TPD) driven hot-electron production while maintaining high hydrodynamic efficiency. Implosion experiments on the OMEGA Laser used targets with silicon layered between an inner beryllium and outer silicon-doped plastic ablator. A factor of five reduction in hot-electron generation (> 50 keV) was observed in the multilayer targets relative to pure CH targets. Three-dimensional simulations of the TPD driven hot-electron production using a laser-plasma interaction code (LPSE) that includes nonlinear and kinetic effects show excellent agreement with the measurements. As a result, the simulations suggest that the reduction in hot-electron productionmore »« less

Observation of Two Ion-Acoustic Waves in a Two-Species Laser-Produced Plasma with Thomson Scattering

Journal Article Glenzer, S H ; Back, C A ; Estabrook, K G ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report the first observations of two separate ion acoustic waves in a two ion species plasma with Thomson scattering. A flat disk coated with thin multilayers of gold and beryllium was irradiated with one laser beam, and the resulting two-ion-species plasma was probed with a second laser at a distance of 500{mu}m. The phase velocities of the ion-acoustic waves are shown to be a sensitive function of the relative concentrations of the two ion species. Moreover, an accurate measurement of the ion temperature can be derived from the relative damping of the two-ion-acoustic waves. {copyright} {ital 1996 The Americanmore » Physical Society.}« less
