Saturation of the leading spike growth in backward Raman amplifiers
V. M. Malkin, Z. Toroker, N. J. Fisch
Backward Raman amplification of laser pulses in plasmas can produce nearly relativistic unfocused output intensities and multi-exawatt powers in compact devices. The largest achiev…
Backward Raman amplification in the Langmuir wavebreaking regime
Z. Toroker, V. M. Malkin, N. J. Fisch
In plasma-based backward Raman amplifiers, the output pulse intensity increases with the input pump pulse intensity, as long as the Langmuir wave mediating energy transfer from the…
Are perytons signatures of ball lightning?
I. Y. Dodin, N. J. Fisch
The enigmatic downchirped signals, called "perytons", that are detected by radio telescopes in the GHz frequency range may be produced by an atmospheric phenomenon known as ball li…
Ponderomotive forces on waves in modulated media
I. Y. Dodin, N. J. Fisch
Nonlinear interactions of waves via instantaneous cross-phase modulation can be cast in the same way as ponderomotive wave-particle interactions in high-frequency electromagnetic f…
