Wave optical theory for fast self-focusing of laser beams in plasmas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2009
Abstract
A theory based on the field and non-linearity expansions interms of Laguerre-Gauss functions is presented. The theoryi useful when very fast self focusing occurs, as in the case of relativistic self focusing. Results for self trapping with a saturable non-linearity are closer to the numerical results than those obtained by any other theory.
