Abstract
Inverse bremsstrahlung heating of laser-produced plasmas can result in a non-Maxwellian electron distribution function. This leads to a modi fication of Langmuir wave collisional and Landau damping coefficients and may result in changes in the stimulated Raman scattering threshold and scattered Light frequency spectra. The importance of these effect s for current laser-plasma interaction experiments is discussed. (C) 1 997 American Institute of Physics.
