摘要：
We consider the effect of light reflected from the plasma critical surface on stimulated Brillouin scattering. For an expanding plasma, there will be a certain Mach number where the reflected light acts as a noise source for stimulated Brillouin-scattering exponentiation. We show calculations and plasma simulations that exhibit significantly enhanced levels of scattering. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
