Observation shows that the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in a cavity target irradiated by 1.053µm laser is the dominant mechanism in producing hot electrons. In cavity targets, stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS)and SRS are main abnormal absorption processes, they can scatter about 0.4 of the laser light energy fraction.
