Saturation of cross-beam energy transfer for multispeckled laser beams involving both ion and electron dynamics
Abstract
The nonlinear saturation of crossed-beam energy transfer (CBET) for multispeckled laser beams crossing at arbitrary angles is examined using vector particle-in-cell simulations. CBET is found to saturate on fast (~10s of picosecond) time scales involving ion trapping and excitation of oblique forward stimulated Raman scattering (FSRS). Ion trapping reduces wave damping and speckle interaction increases wave coherence length, together enhancing energy transfer; ion acoustic wave (IAW) breakup in the direction transverse to the wavenumber increases wave damping and contributes to CBET saturation. Here, the seed beam can become unstable to oblique FSRS, which leads to beam deflection at a large angle and a frequency downshift (by the plasma frequency).
