Description

An exact analytic solution is obtained for stimulated Brillouin side-scattering of light by a plasma slab of finite width in the limit of strong ion-acoustic wave damping. Brillouin side-scattering is shown to predominate whenever the lateral extent of the plasma exceeds the length required to produce back-scattering. Under certain conditions the side-scattered light can become more intense than the incident light
