Interaction of crossed laser beams with plasmas

The parametric interaction of two crossed collimated laser beams with ion plasma modes has been studied. The underlying process is a density grating that is created by the two laser beams. The Bragg diffraction that is produced enhances forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) which results in a time dependent energy exchange between the two beams. A diversity of other SBS processes which depend on the symmetry of driving laser beams are also discussed.
