Abstract

The effect of Coulomb screening on the inverse bremsstrahlung heating process in a plasma illuminated by two laser fields is discussed. It is shown that, although the screening effect actually lowers the Coulomb interaction, one might accomplish a reduction of the weakening effect and consequently an enhancement of the collisional plasma heating, by illuminating the plasma with the two electromagnetic waves having a difference in frequency close to the plasma frequency.
