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.
