The growth and saturation of stimulated brillouin scattering in a CO2 laser-produced plasma
The growth and saturation characteristics of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in the interaction of an intense (Ｉ≤ 10¹³ W/cm²) CO₂ laser beam with an underdense plasma are investigated experimentally. The plasma is produced by focussing a short (2 ns FWHM), CO₂ laser pulse onto a stabilized nit...
