Saturation of the leading spike growth in backward Raman amplifiers

Journal Article Malkin, V. M. ; Fisch, N. J. ; Toroker, Z. - Physics of Plasmas

Backward Raman amplification of laser pulses in plasmas can produce nearly relativistic unfocused output intensities and multi-exawatt powers in compact devices. The largest achievable intensity depends on which of major competitive processes set this limit. It is shown here that the relativistic electron nonlinearity can cause saturation of the leading amplified spike intensity before filamentation instabilities develop. A simple analytical model for the saturation, which supports numerical simulations, is suggested. The upper limit for the leading output spike unfocused intensity is calculated.

Large-signal gain and intensity enhancement in a backward Raman amplifier

Journal Article Murray, J R ; Goldhar, J ; Eimerl, D ; ... - Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)

Saturation effects have been investigated in a KrF laser-pumped backward Raman amplifier using methane gas. Pump depletion of 30% with an intensity gain of 2 has been demonstrated, and the results are shown to be consistent with a simple Frantz-Nodvik saturation treatment.

Analysis of Statistical Correlations and Intensity Spiking in the Self-Amplified Spontaneous-Emission Free-Electron Laser

Technical Report Krinsky, Samuel

The narrow band chaotic output of the self-amplified spontaneous-emission free-electron laser (SASE FEL) exhibits intensity spikes. In the linear regime before saturation, we use an approach developed by Rice to determine probability distributions for the peak values of intensity in both the time and frequency domains. We also find the average number of spikes per unit time or frequency. In addition, we derive joint probabilities for the intensity in the output pulse to have values I{sub 1} and I{sub 2} at times t{sub 1} and t{sub 2}, and for the spectral intensity to have values {tilde I}{sub 1} and {tildemore »« less

Effect of nonlinear Landau damping in plasma-based backward Raman amplifier

Journal Article Yampolsky, N A ; Fisch, N J - Physics of Plasmas

A plasma wave can mediate laser coupling in a plasma-based resonant backward Raman amplifier for high power amplification of short laser pulses. The resonant nature of amplification requires a long lifetime of the plasma wave. However, the plasma wave can be heavily Landau damped in warm plasma. On the other hand, Landau damping can be saturated in the presence of a strong plasma wave. We study backward Raman amplifier in the nonlinear regime of Landau damping using a simplified fluid model. We find the regime in which initially high linear Landau damping can be significantly saturated. Because of the saturationmore »« less
