Description

The temporal growth rates of stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering of a self-focused laser beam in a collisional plasma have been evaluated. The calculations predict a considerable spatial nonuniformity in the scattering because of the temperature and density gradients induced in the plasma on account of the nonuniformity of the pump laser beam.
