Slowly varying envelope kinetic simulations of pulse amplification by Raman backscattering
A numerical code based on an eikonal formalism has been developed to simulate laser-plasma interactions, specifically Raman backscatter (RBS). In this code, the dominant laser modes are described by their wave envelopes, avoiding the need to resolve the laser frequency; appropriately time-averaged equations describe particle motion. The code is fully kinetic, and thus includes critical physics ...
متن کاملLaser pulse compression and amplification via Raman backscattering in plasma
A simple theoretical model is proposed for the interaction between two counter-propagating laser pulses (a pump and a seed pulse) in unmagnetized plasma. Pulse compression and amplification are observed via numerical simulation. A one dimensional fluid model for stimulated Raman backscattering is proposed to investigate the pulse compression and pulse amplification mechanisms. To accomplish thi...
متن کاملChirped pulse Raman amplification in plasma
Raman amplification in plasma has been proposed to be a promising method of amplifying short radiation pulses. Here, we investigate chirped pulse Raman amplification (CPRA) where the pump pulse is chirped and leads to spatiotemporal distributed gain, which exhibits superradiant scaling in the linear regime, usually associated with the nonlinear pump depletion and Compton amplification regimes. ...
متن کاملAnalytical study of pulse amplification in silicon Raman amplifiers.
The nonlinear process of stimulated Raman scattering is important for silicon photonics as it enables optical amplification and lasing. To understand the dynamics of silicon Raman amplifiers (SRAs), a numerical approach is generally employed, even though it provides little insight into the contribution of different SRA parameters to the signal amplification process. In this paper, we solve the ...
متن کاملChirped pulse Raman amplification in warm plasma: towards controlling saturation
Stimulated Raman backscattering in plasma is potentially an efficient method of amplifying laser pulses to reach exawatt powers because plasma is fully broken down and withstands extremely high electric fields. Plasma also has unique nonlinear optical properties that allow simultaneous compression of optical pulses to ultra-short durations. However, current measured efficiencies are limited to ...
