Abstract: A self-consistent treatment of strong-field laser - plasma interactions suggests a heuristically valuable extension of the notion of nonlinear-optical susceptibility to perturbative regimes of stimulated light scattering in plasmas, offering powerful insights into stimulated-scattering-induced cross-beam energy transfer processes. These findings lay grounds for a unified treatment of stimulated light scattering across a vast area of optical physics, spanning from fiber optics and neutral gases to laser - plasma physics.
