Quasistatic magnetic field generated by a short laser pulse in an underdense plasma
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quasistatic magnetic field generated by short laser pulse in a uniform rarefied plasma is found analytically and compared to that of two-dimensional particle simulations. It is shown that an axisymmetric laser pulse generates an azimuthal magnetic field the structure of which is rather complicated inside the laser pulse body. Behind the pulse in the wake region the magnetic field contains a component that is homogeneous in the longitudinal direction and a component that is oscillating at the wave number 2kp , where kp is the wave number of the plasma wake. Particle simulations confirm the analytical results and are also used to treat the case of high intense laser pulses. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S1070-664X~97!00212-7#

One of the interesting Laser-Plasma phenomena, when the laser power is high and ultra intense, is the generation of large amplitude plasma waves (Wakefield) and electron acceleration. An intense electromagnetic laser pulse can create plasma oscillations through the action of the nonlinear pondermotive force. electrons trapped in the wake can be accelerated to high energies, more than 1 TW. Of t...

In this paper, we have simulated the excitation of wake fields in the interaction of an intensive laser pulses having Half-Sine and Gaussian time envelopes with a fully ionized cold plasma using particle in cell (PIC) method. We investigated the dependency of wake filed amplitude to different laser and plasma parameters such as laser wavelength, pulse duration and electron number density. In ad...

In this paper, the influence of initial momentum and the injection angle of electron in to the magnetized plasma in a laser wake-field accelerator have been studied.It has been seen that the use of external magnetic field in the opposite direction of laser pulse propagation leads to an increase in the wake-field amplitude and a decrease in laser pulse group velocity in comparison to the use of ...

We have considered the self-focusing of a Gaussian laser pulse in unmagnetized plasma. High-intensity electromagnetic fields cause the variation of electron density in plasma. These changes in the special conditions cause the acceleration of electrons to the higher energy and velocities. Thus the equation of plasma density evolution was obtained considering the electrons ponderomotive force. T...

In this paper, a free-electron laser (FEL) growth rate with a laser wiggler in which plasma background is used to generate short wavelengths in x-ray regimes, has been investigated theoretically. A linearly polarized laser pulse, due to having short wiggler periods (inrange) is able to produce coherent radiations in x-ray regions and can be applied as a planar wiggler in a FEL. Phase velocity o...
