Abstract
This paper presents the first results obtained with the
LULI2000 facility on the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) instability
developing at 527 nm on solid targets. We describe the experimental
configuration, the plasma parameters and give first results of the SBS as
function of laser intensity in these plasmas. The Brillouin reflectivity
measured at maximum energy is 8%. The measurements are compared with the
Brillouin backscattering expected from linear theory in the exponential
density profile.
