Focus optimization of relativistic self-focusing for anomalous laser penetration into overdense plasmas (super-penetration)
Relativistic electron motion in a plasma due to an intense laser pulse modifies the refractive index and leads to two effects: relativistic induced transparency and relativistic self-focusing. A combination of the above two effects enables transmission of laser energy deep into plasmas which is useful for fast ignition of inertial fusion. This so-called super-penetration sensitively depends on ...
متن کاملDemonstration of relativistic electron beam focusing by a laser-plasma lens
Laser-plasma technology promises a drastic reduction of the size of high-energy electron accelerators. It could make free-electron lasers available to a broad scientific community and push further the limits of electron accelerators for high-energy physics. Furthermore, the unique femtosecond nature of the source makes it a promising tool for the study of ultrafast phenomena. However, applicati...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of short laser pulse relativistic self-focusing in underdense plasma
Existing experimental results on relativistic self-focusing are interpreted by means of the particle code WAKE using the ponderomotive approximation to describe the laser–plasma interaction @P. Mora and T. M. Antonsen, Jr., Phys. Plasmas 4, 217 ~1997!#. Novel features of the code, such as gas medium ionization and an enhanced paraxial approximation, allow more confidence in data interpretation....
متن کاملComputer simulation of cylindrical laser beam self-focusing in a plasma
A comparison of the beam propagation method (BPM) in two transverse dimensions and for a cylindrically symmetric laser beam with a direct FFT based method is presented for self-focusing of laser beam in a plasma with saturating type (ponderomotive) nonlinearity and cubic nonlinearity. PACS: 52.38.Hb; 42.65.Tg; 42.65.Wi; 05.45.Yv
متن کاملSelf-focusing of an optical beam in a plasma.
Self-focusing of an intense optical beam in a plasma is studied, including the nonlinear effects of both the relativistic electron mass and the ponderomotive potential due to the electromagnetic wave. An exact steady-state asymptotic solution of beam propagation in a localized solitary waveform is obtained in slab geometry. Amplitude-width scaling relations are obtained, which imply that the wi...
