Abstract

This paper studies the propagation of intense laser in plasmas in weak relativistic region( $0.1<a_0^2<0.5$ ) using the quasi-periodic approximation. Effective Lorentz factor and density wave effects are calculated in detail. The relativistic correction on stimulated Brillouin instability is investigated in the rest parts. The coupled dispersion relations of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering(SBS) are obtained and investigated numerically.
