Title: Density modulation-induced absolute laser-plasma-instabilities: Simulations and theory

Abstract

Fluid simulations show that when a sinusoidal density modulation is superimposed on a linear density profile, convective instabilities can become absolutely unstable. This conversion can occur for two-plasmon-decay and stimulated Raman Scattering instabilities under realistic direct-drive inertial confinement fusion conditions and can affect hot electron generation and laser energy deposition. Analysis of the three-wave model shows that a sufficiently large change of the density gradient in a linear density profile can turn convective instabilities into absolute ones. In conclusion, an analytical expression is given for the threshold of the gradient change for a two-slope density profile, which depends on the convective gain only.

Parametric instabilities in plasma with sinusoidal density modulation

Journal Article Nicholson, D R - Phys. Fluids; (United States)

Parametric instabilities in the presence of sinusoidal plasma density modulation are considered analytically and by numerical integration of the coupled mode equations. The density modulation tends to reduce temporal and spatial growth rates. If there is a linear density gradient in addition to the density modulation, the usual convective saturation exists for small modulation; however, above a certain threshold modulation, the convective saturation is replaced by absolute growth. This result is in qualitative agreement with earlier work on plasma with linear density gradient plus turbulence. (AIP)

Two-plasmon decay instability in inhomogeneous plasmas at oblique laser incidence

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

The two-plasmon decay (TPD) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) instabilities have been studied in the region near the quarter-critical density in the plasmas of the laser-driven inertial confinement fusion for a wide range of laser angles of incidence. The theoretical analysis of the TPD for oblique laser incidence has been carried out. The theoretical growth rates and thresholds have been compared with the results of the fluid-type simulations, and a good agreement has been found. Here, in the modeling including both TPD and SRS, the spectra of the growing perturbations have multiple peaks, and the maximum growth may be influencedmore » by the interplay between TPD and SRS.« less

Experimental study of the relation between the absolute-stimulated-Raman and two-plasmon-decay instabilities

Journal Article Meyer, J ; Zhu, Y - Physical Review Letters; (USA)

Electron plasma waves generated by both the absolute-stimulated-Raman scattering and the two-plasmon-decay instabilities in a CO{sub 2}-laser--produced plasma are studied by picosecond-resolution Thomson scattering. The spatial and wave-vector distribution covering the regions of both stimulated Raman scattering and two-plasmon decay are observed. The experiments show no temporal nor wave-number separation between plasma waves generated by both instabilities in contrast to predictions from linear theory. The fluctuation spectra in the plane of polarization show a sharp peak at {ital k}=2{ital k}{sub 0}.

Three-dimensional particle-in-cell modeling of parametric instabilities near the quarter-critical density in plasmas

Journal Article Wen, H. ; Maximov, A. V. ; Yan, R. ; ... - Physical Review E

The nonlinear regime of laser-plasma interactions including both two-plasmon decay (TPD) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) instabilities has been studied in three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell simulations with parameters relevant to the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. SRS and TPD develop in the same region in plasmas, and the generation of fast electrons can be described accurately with only the full model including both SRS and TPD. The growth of instabilities in the linear stage is found to be in good agreement with analytical theories.

Observation of a Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability in a High-Energy-Density Plasma on the Omega Laser

Journal Article Harding, E C ; Hansen, J F ; Hurricane, O A ; ... - Physical Review Letters

A laser initiated experiment is described in which an unstable plasma shear layer is produced by driving a blast wave along a plastic surface with sinusoidal perturbations. In response to the vorticity deposited and the shear flow established by the blast wave, the interface rolls up into large vortices characteristic of the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability. The experiment used x ray radiography to capture the first well-resolved images of KH vortices in a high-energy-density plasma, and possibly the first images of transonic shocks generated by large-scale structures in a shear layer.
