The shock ignition concept for inertial confinement fusion includes launching a strong shock with a high-intensity laser spike into an imploding shell. The laser intensity in the plasma corona is above the threshold for parametric instabilities, thus providing conditions for strong non-linear effects. Here we present a series of one-dimensional kinetic simulations of laser-plasma interactions in such a regime. After a transient period of strong non-stationary scattering, the laser-plasma interaction enters an asymptotic regime where a significant part of the incident laser flux is absorbed in the plasma and is transformed into hot electrons. The repartition of the absorbed energy and spectral characteristics of the scattered radiation are presented for laser intensities in the range 2.4-24 PW cm(-2). For a laser intensity of 8 PW cm(-2), the total absorption is 69%; about 50% of absorption takes place at quarter critical density and the remaining 19% at 1/ 16th of the critical density. 52% of the total laser pulse energy are absorbed due to stimulated Raman scattering, which produces electrons with a temperature of about 30 keV, and 17% is absorbed due to cavitation, which produces a more isotropic distribution of hot electrons with a temperature of about 10 keV.
