Short-Pulse Amplification by Strongly-Coupled Stimulated Brillouin Scattering
arXiv:1607.00332 · doi:10.1063/1.4961429
Abstract
We examine the feasibility of strongly-coupled stimulated Brillouin scattering as a mechanism for the plasma-based amplification of sub-picosecond pulses. In particular, we use fluid theory and particle-in-cell simulations to compare the relative advantages of Raman and Brillouin amplification over a broad range of achievable parameters.
