Abstract

Stimulated Brillouin back-scattering in mixed carbon and hydrogen plasmas is studied using one-dimensional Vlasov–Maxwell simulation. It is found that both the fast and slow ion acoustic waves can scatter the incident light. Carbon ions can be trapped in the slow ion acoustic wave, and the hydrogen ions can be trapped in both the fast and slow waves. The trapped ions tend to reduce the Landau damping of the ion acoustic waves, and both the fast and slow ion acoustic waves can be excited. From the time-integrated scattering spectra, the scattering peaks of the fast and slow ion acoustic waves can be clearly distinguished.
