Abstract

We present in this paper observations of stimulated Brillouin backscattered light from a plasma irradiated by a 10 ps 1.06 μm laser pump, at intensities between 1012 and 1016 W cm-2. During this short time duration, the observed growth of the instability can be explained only in terms of a purely temporal growth, in contrast to the convective growth normally associated with this instability.
