Inverse Faraday Effect

Interaction between energetic electrons and a circularly polarized laser pulse in a relativistic plasma channel is studied. Laser radiation can be resonantly absorbed by electrons executing betatron oscillations in the channel and absorbing angular momentum from the laser. The absorbed angular momentum manifests itself as a strong axial magnetic field (inverse Faraday effect). The magnitude of this magnetic field is calculated and related to the amount of the absorbed energy.

AbstractThis paper presents a model to study the two prominent coexisting instabilities, stimulated Raman (SRS), and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in the presence of background axial magnetic field. In the context of laser-produced plasmas, this model is very useful in the situations where a self-generated axial magnetic field is present as well as where an external axial magnetic field is applied. Due to the interplay between both the scattering processes, the behavior of one scattering process is greatly modified in the presence of another coexisting scattering process. The impact of this coexisting phenomenon and axial magnetic field on the back reflectivity of scattered beams has been explored. It has been demonstrated that the back reflectivity gets modified significantly due to the coexistence of both the scattering processes (SRS and SBS) as well as due to the axial magnetic field. Results are also compared with the three-wave interaction case (isolated SRS or SBS case).

AbstractGeneration of collimated proton beams by linearly and circularly polarized (CP) lasers from magnetized near-critical plasmas has been investigated with the help of three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. Due to cyclotron effects, the transverse proton momentum gets significantly reduced in the presence of an axial magnetic field which leads to an enhancement in collimation. Collimation is observed to be highest in case of a linearly polarized (LP) laser in the presence of magnetic field. However, protons accelerated by a right CP laser in the presence of magnetic field are not only highly collimated but are also more energetic than those accelerated by the LP laser. Although, the presence of an axial magnetic field enhances the collimation by reducing the transverse proton momentum, the maximum proton energy gets reduced since the transverse proton momentum has a significant contribution towards proton energy.
