Abstract

The interaction of high-power, short duration laser and microwave beams with plasma has been widely studied due to intriguing physical phenomena involved and applications such as plasma particle accelerators, inertial confinement fusion, remote atmospheric sensing, high harmonic generation, etc. Laser guiding in plasma can be achieved either by self-channeling or in a preformed plasma channel with reduced plasma density near the axis.
