Abstract

A one-dimensional fluid model has been established for Raman amplification of a short laser pulse in a plasma by a counter-propagating pump. The laser pulse is amplified with a large gain and also may be compressed by nonlinear three-wave Interactions. The spatiotemporal evolutions of the seed and the pump pulses were visualized for linear and nonlinear regimes, and the transition from regular to chaotic behavior of subsidiary pulses was investigated with variation of pump intensity.
