Laser plasma coupling in long pulse, long scale length plasmas

  • 1. University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California 94550

Description

Laser plasma coupling under near reactor-size target conditions is studied at Ilambda2approx. =1014 W/cm2 μm2 with 1-mm size plasmas, 3-kJ, 3-ns irradiations on the 1.064-μm Shiva laser. Evidence for the occurrence of parametric processes, such as stimulated Brillouin sidescatter and the two-plasmon decay instability, is observed
