多光束激光等离子体不稳定性的理论和数值模拟研究

Theory and Numerical Simulation of Multibeam Laser-Plasma Instabilities

  • 摘要: 基于多光束激光等离子体不稳定性(LPI)的一般理论模型,我们推导了适用于任意光束位形、偏振和波长的LPI色散关系,并开发了多光束LPI色散关系程序。我们将理论模型应用于神光-100kJ(SG-100kJ)装置和集束(SG-Octopus)实验中,定性地解释了实验中观察到的“同环不同性”和“各回各家”现象。数值模拟结果发现多光束效应在两种现象中均存在,可能是影响不稳定性发展的重要因素之一。该模型和程序的发展为激光聚变装置中多光束不稳定性预测与控制提供了工具。

     

    Abstract: Based on the general theoretical model of multibeam laser-plasma instabilities (LPI), we derived the LPI dispersion relation applicable to arbitrary beam configurations, polarizations, and wavelengths, and developed a multibeam LPI dispersion relation program. We applied the theoretical model to the SG-100kJ facility and the SG-Octopus experiment, qualitatively explaining the observed “intra-cone asymmetry” and “each-beam-goes-home” phenomena. Numerical simulation results indicate that multibeam effects exist in both phenomena and may be one of the important factors affecting the development of instability. The development of this model and program provides a tool for the prediction and control of multibeam instabilities in laser fusion facilities.
