Abstract
Detection of prompt stimulated Brillouin backscatter is reported from an experiment in which a high-power pulsed CO2 laser irradiates an independently produced ϑ-pinch plasma. Analysis of the backscatter signal indicates that significant SBS gain is limited to a time period near peak incident power. The restriction on SBS gain is attributed to a varying temperature gradient.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
