Notes:
One-dimensional three-wave models, known for stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), are investigated. It is shown that in homogeneous systems of infinite extent the steady-state three-wave solution for SBS with a reflectivity less than 100% is intrinsically unstable. From a numerical solution it is concluded that nearly all stationary states decay in time and result in a state with reflectivity coefficient R=1; only the latter is linearly stable in a homogeneous plasma of infinite length. The asymptotic solutions for SBS in plasmas are calculated and the similarity in the dynamics between SBS and SRS is discussed.
