Abstract
Raman and Brillouin scatterings in inhomogeneous and blowoff plasmas are analyzed. For normal incidence, the threshold for near-90° Raman scattering is a minimum, necessitating the analysis without the WKB approximation. Pump depletion may severely limit the laser penetration into a plasma.Keywords
