AbstractThe filamentation of the high-power laser beam is investigated by taking off axial contribution when relativistic nonlinearity is considered. The effect of filamentation of the laser beam is studied on the localization of the electron plasma wave (EPW) and on the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). The semi-analytical solution of the nonlinearly coupled EPW equation in the presence of laser beam filaments has been found. It is observed that due to this nonlinear coupling between two waves, localization of EPW takes place. This localization of EPW affects the Eigen frequency and damping of plasma wave. The new enhanced damping of the plasma wave has been calculated and it is found that the SRS process gets suppressed due to the localization of plasma wave in laser beam filamentary structures. For typical laser beam and plasma parameters with wavelength λ (=1064 nm), power flux (=1018 W cm−2) and plasma density n/ncr (=0.2); the SRS back reflectivity is found to be suppressed by a factor of approximately 8%.

AbstractEffect of relativistic nonlinearity on stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) of laser beam propagating carrying null intensity in center [hollow Gaussian beam (HGB)] is studied in collisionless plasma. The construction of the equations is done employing the fluid theory which is developed with partial differential equation and Maxwell's equations. The phenomenon of SRS is shown along with the excitation of seed plasma wave considering relativistic nonlinearity. The power of plasma wave is observed for higher order of HGB. The Raman back reflectivity is studied numerically for various orders of hollow Gaussian laser beam (HGLB) and the numerical analysis shows that these parameters play vital role on reflectivity characteristics. It is observed that the Raman back reflectivity is less for the higher order of HGLB.

AbstractThis paper presents a model for excitation of electron plasma wave and resulting stimulated Raman scattering due to presence of a laser beam carrying null intensity in center (hollow Gaussian beam) in a collisionless plasma. We have studied the self-focusing of the hollow Gaussian beam and its effect on back stimulated Raman scattering process in the presence of ponderomotive nonlinearity. To understand the nature of propagation of the hollow Gaussian beam, electron plasma wave and back reflectivity, a paraxial-ray approximation has been invoked. It is predicted that self-focusing and back reflectivity reduces for higher order of hollow Gaussian beam.
