Stimulated Brillouin scattering in the saturated regime

An experimental study of the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) instability has investigated the effects of velocity gradients and kinetic effects on the saturation of ion-acoustic waves in a plasma. For intensities less than I<1.5x10(15) W cm(-2), SBS is in a linear regime and is moderate...
