The stimulated emission of Bremsstrahlung in a fully ionized plasma‡
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2009
Abstract
The process of induced bremsstrahlung is studied and it is found that anisotropy in the electron distribution can lead to the amplification of radiation. The gain rate is ,Λ where ν is the electron-ion collision frequency, ωp and ω the plasma and radiation frequency, and Λ a numerical factor which is positive only for anisotropic distributions.
