,Saturation of Laser–Plasma Instabilities and Other Nonlinear Effects,ties are the Langmuir decay instability, the two-ion decay and the electromagnetic decay instability. The last section introduces the main nonlinear kinetic effects impacting laser–plasma instabilities, such as the kinetic inflation process, the saturation of instabilities via nonlinear frequency shifts and nonlinear plasma heating.

1868-4513 ities.Describes a central physics area for laser fusion rese.This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics of laser-plasma interactions (LPI), based on a graduate course taught by the author. The emphasis is on high-energy-density physics (HEDP) and inertial confinement fusion (

Fundamentals of Optics and Plasma Physics,aser absorption (Chap. .) and in the saturation of nonlinear kinetic effects (Chap. .), are introduced next. Finally, the last section introduces the isothermal expansion of plasma in vacuum, which represents a type of plasma profiles often encountered in laser–plasma experiments.

Nonlinear Self-action Effects in Light Propagation in Plasmas,sity depression from the ponderomotive force and the possible formation of solitons or self-trapped modes in the resulting density channels. The last section describes how refraction in these density channels can lead to beam bending if the plasma is flowing.

BOLUS

Wave Coupling Instabilities via Electron Plasma Waves,bilities is the generation of suprathermal electrons, which are a crucial phenomenon for laser fusion experiments. The last section describes the measurement of these electrons via the bremsstrahlung radiation they emit during collisions with background plasma ions.

,Optical Smoothing of High-Power Lasers and Implications for Laser–Plasma Instabilities,educe the contrast of the speckle pattern and introduce a finite speckle lifetime. The last section describes the implication of phase plates and optical smoothing techniques on laser–plasma instabilities.

LUT

Single Particle Dynamics in Light Waves and Plasma Waves,e force from a plasma wave vs. a light wave. The figure of eight motion of a particle in a light wave described in the first section (and the equivalent nonlinear motion in a plasma wave from the second section) is interpreted in terms of the ponderomotive force.

Venules

Absorption of Light Waves (and EPWs) in Plasmas,estimates for the absorption factor in idealized plasma profiles. The last section describes the resonance absorption process and discusses the different regimes where collisional vs. resonance absorption is the dominant mechanism.
