Parametric instabilities and hot electron generation in the interactions of broadband lasers with inhomogeneous plasmas

The development of parametric instabilities in the interaction of a large-scale inhomogeneous plasma with either a monochromatic or a broadband laser pulse is investigated theoretically and numerically. For a monochromatic laser at an intensity of $1.5\times10^{15}$  W cm ^−2 , the development of St...
