Two kinds of experimental results obtained from time-resolved second-harmonic spectra for 1.06 μm laser-produced plasma are presented. At moderate laser intensities (≤2×1014 W/cm2) the results are explained with parametric and electron decay instabilities. Whereas, at high laser intensities (≥6×1014 W/cm2) the Langmuir strong turbulence is used to explain experimental results. In addition to results obtained by Briand et al. [Phys. Fluids B 2, 160 (1990)], a second sequence of collapses is observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
