The presence of several plasmas along the path of an energetic laser beam is likely to produce noticeable changes in the behaviour of parametric instabilities compared to the case of interaction with single plasma. In order to identify the different effects that can come into play in this kind of situation, a tunable double target system has been designed, allowing controlled variation in the distance betwwen the two targets. The first target was low density foam while the second one was a thin plastic foil. Part of this thesis is devoted to characterization of laser-plasma interaction into the foams since this subject has been not much explored yet for such low densities. In the cas of interaction with two plasmas, three effects have been ...
