商品描述

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics of laser-plasma interactions (LPI), based on a graduate course taught by the author. The emphasis is on high-energy-density physics (HEDP) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF), with a comprehensive description of the propagation, absorption, nonlinear effects and parametric instabilities of high energy lasers in plasmas.

The recent demonstration of a burning plasma on the verge of nuclear fusion ignition at the National Ignition Facility in Livermore, California, has marked the beginning of a new era of ICF and fusion research. These new developments make LPI more relevant than ever, and the resulting influx of new scientists necessitates new pedagogical material on the subject. In contrast to the classical textbooks on LPI, this book provides a complete description of all wave-coupling instabilities in unmagnetized plasmas in the kinetic as well as fluid pictures, and includes a comprehensive description of the optical smoothing techniques used on high-power lasers and their impact on laser-plasma instabilities. It summarizes all the key developments from the 1970s to the present day in view of the current state of LPI and ICF research; it provides a derivation of the key LPI metrics and formulas from first principles, and connects the theory to experimental observables.

With exercises and plenty of illustrations, this book is ideal as a textbook for a course on laser-plasma interactions or as a supplementary text for graduate introductory plasma physics course. Students and researchers will also find it to be an invaluable reference and self-study resource.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書提供了對激光等離子體相互作用（LPI）物理的全面介紹，內容基於作者所教授的研究生課程。重點放在高能量密度物理（HEDP）和慣性約束核融合（ICF）上，詳細描述了高能量激光在等離子體中的傳播、吸收、非線性效應和參數不穩定性。

最近在加州利弗莫爾國家點火設施（National Ignition Facility）成功展示了接近核融合點火的燃燒等離子體，標誌著ICF和核融合研究的新時代的開始。這些新進展使LPI比以往更加重要，並且新科學家的湧入需要有關這一主題的新教學材料。與傳統的LPI教科書不同，本書在動力學和流體模型中對非磁化等離子體中的所有波耦合不穩定性進行了全面描述，並包括了高功率激光使用的光學平滑技術及其對激光等離子體不穩定性的影響。它總結了從1970年代到現在的所有重要發展，以反映當前LPI和ICF研究的現狀；它從基本原理推導出了關鍵的LPI指標和公式，並將理論與實驗可觀測量相連接。

這本書配有練習題和大量插圖，非常適合作為激光等離子體相互作用課程的教科書，或作為研究生入門等離子體物理課程的補充教材。學生和研究人員也會發現它是一個寶貴的參考和自學資源。

作者簡介

Pierre Michel received his Ph.D. in physics from the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris in 2003, where he worked on experiment and modeling of long-pulse laser-plasma interactions. From 2004 to 2006 he was a postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, working in the BELLA Center on laser wakefield acceleration and laser-plasma-based ultra-short x-ray sources. He has been at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) since 2006, where he is a group leader for laser-plasma interaction (LPI) physics in the National Ignition Facility Directorate and has been the principal investigator on several projects on plasma- and gas-optics. He is a visiting scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, and has taught online lectures on LPI through the LLNL High Energy Density Center. He has published over a hundred papers on short- and long-pulse LPI, is a recipient of the Edouard Fabre Prize (European Physical Society), the John Dawson Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics (American Physical Society) and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
