Collective stimulated Brillouin scattering modes of two crossing laser beams with shared scattered wave

In inertial confinement fusion (ICF), overlapping of laser beams is common. Owing to the effective high laser intensity of the overlapped beams, the collective mode of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) with a shared scattered light wave is potentially important. In this work, an exact analytic s...

description In inertial confinement fusion (ICF), overlapping of laser beams is common. Owing to the effective high laser intensity of the overlapped beams, the collective mode of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) with a shared scattered light wave is potentially important. In this work, an exact analytic solution for the convective gain coefficient of the collective SBS modes with shared scattered wave is presented for two overlapped beams based on a linear kinetic model. The effects of the crossing angle, polarization states, and finite beam overlapping volume of the two laser beams on the shared light modes are analyzed for cases with zero and nonzero wavelength difference between the two beams.

In particular, adjusting the polarization directions of the two beams to be orthogonal to each other or tuning the wavelength difference to a sufficiently large value (of the order of nanometers) are found to be effective methods to suppress the shared light modes of SBS.
