SRS-SBS competition and nonlinear laser energy absorption in a high temperature plasma
S. A. Shekhanov, V. T. Tikhonchuk
Stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering of laser radiation in a plasma corona are outstanding issues for the inertial confinement fusion. Stimulated Raman scattering may produce…
