Scintillation characteristics of cosh-Gaussian beams.
By using the generalized beam formulation, the scintillation index is derived and evaluated for cosh-Gaussian beams in a turbulent atmosphere. Comparisons are made to cos-Gaussian and Gaussian beam scintillations. The variations of scintillations against propagation length at different values of displacement and focusing parameters are examined. The dependence of scintillations on source size a...
متن کاملExcitation of accelerating plasma waves by counter-propagating laser beams
Generation of accelerating plasma waves using two counter-propagating laser beams is considered. Colliding-beam accelerator requires two laser pulses: the long pump and the short timing beam. We emphasize the similarities and differences between the conventional laser wakefield accelerator and the colliding-beam accelerator (CBA). The highly-nonlinear nature of the wake excitation is explained ...
متن کاملFocusing of spherical Gaussian beams.
Simple procedures and formulas for tracing the characteristics of a spherical Gaussian beam through a train of lenses or mirrors are described which are analogous to those used in geometrical optics to trace repeated images through an optical train.
متن کاملStudy of non-linear interaction of circular laser pulse propagating through hot magnetized plasma in the presence of a planar magnetostatic wiggler
In this paper, the self-focusing property of an intense circularly polarized laser pulse in hot magnetized plasma is investigated theoretically. First, an envelope equation governing the spot-size of the laser beam for both left- and right-hand polarizations has been derived in the presence of a planar wiggler. Furthermore, non-linear dispersion relation of laser pulse is obtained by using Maxw...
متن کاملVacuum self-focusing of very intense laser beams
We argue that long-range photon-photon attraction induced by the dipole interaction of two electron-positron loops can lead to "vacuum self-focusing" of very intense laser beams. The focusing angle Î ̧F is found to increase with the beam intensity I as Î ̧F âˆ1⁄4 I4/3; for the laser beams available at present or in the near future, Î ̧F 10-10 10-7.
