Laser heating of magnetized plasmas

Abstract: Current research on long-wavelength laser interaction with magnetized plasmas is summarized. Special attention is given to laser beam guiding in plasma density minima, to plasma heating and to investigations of laser-produced plasmas in strong magnetic fields. The basic theoretical and experimental background aad research are discussed. Reactor studies based on lassr heated plasma systems are reviewed. Some areas of possible future research are mentioned.

“…Hence, the laser light will be refracted toward low-density regions of the plasma (Ref. 5). By assuming, as we mentioned earlier, that the laser radiation illuminates the plasma column uniformly, we virtually neglect this effect at the outset.…”

“…In an unmagnetized plasma the ponderomotive force acting on the electrons is given by [4] FD = -(q:/2wime) V ( E . E ) (1) where qe and me are the electron charge and mass and E the high frequency part of the total electric field. The brackets denote an average over the high frequency time scale.…”
