摘要
Numerical model for calculating convective gains and absolute thresholds of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in inhomogeneous plasmas is constructed based on the Fourier-space method. The model is valid for arbitrary density profiles and scattering geometries, including both backscattering and side scattering. It is shown that 90 deg side scatter has a lower absolute threshold than other scattering geometries. Backscatter, on the other hand, has a relatively large absolute threshold under conventional direct-drive ignition conditions. For a parabolic density profile, the absolute threshold of backscatter decreases dramatically at the peak of parabola, but is still much larger than that of side scatter. We also discuss the absolute thresholds of side scatter under different density profiles, showing not big differences with the linear density profile as well as the analytic formulas. Convective gains, however, are sensitive to the density profiles and collisional damping. The k-space numerical model is verified via analytic formulas and real-space envelope model, and it offers us new perspective on the scattering angles compared with previous models for SRS.
