Control of laser-plasma instabilities by non-collinear polychromatic light
Yao Zhao, Hongwei Yin, Bin Zhao +1
Normal broadband lasers with collinear polychromatic components have immense potential for mitigating laser plasma instabilities (LPIs). However, the projection complexity of colli…
Polychromatic drivers for inertial fusion energy
Yao Zhao, Zhengming Sheng, Zijian Cui +2
Although tremendous achievements have been made toward inertial confinement fusion, laser plasma instabilities (LPIs) remain to be an inevitable problem for current drive schemes.…
Stimulated Raman scattering in the degenerate regime
Yao Zhao, Suming Weng, Zhengming Sheng +1
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in plasma in the degenerate regime is studied theoretically and numerically. Different from normal SRS with the non-degenerate eigen electrostatic…
Suppression of parametric instabilities in inhomogeneous plasma with multi-frequency light
Yao Zhao, Suming Weng, Zhengming Sheng +1
The development of parametric instabilities in a large scale inhomogeneous plasma with an incident laser beam composed of multiple-frequency components is studied theoretically and…
Absolute instability modes due to rescattering of stimulated Raman scattering in a large nonuniform plasma
Yao Zhao, Zhengming Sheng, Suming Weng +2
Absolute instability modes due to rescattering of SRS in a large nonuniform plasma are studied theoretically and numerically. The backscattered light of convective SRS can be consi…
Effective suppression of parametric instabilities with decoupled broadband lasers in plasma
Yao Zhao, Suming Weng, Min Chen +5
A theoretical analysis for the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) instability driven by two laser beams with certain frequency difference is presented. It is found that strong coupl…
Plasma optical modulators for intense lasers
Lu-Le Yu, Yao Zhao, Lie-Jia Qian +6
Optical modulators can be made nowadays with high modulation speed, broad bandwidth, while being compact, owing to the recent advance in material science and microfabrication techn…
