Propagation of intense, ultrashort laser pulses in plasmas

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have investigated the propagation of terawatt-power laser pulses in gases. The spatial distribution of focused radiation is modified by refraction that results from the spatially inhomogeneous refractive index of the plasma generated by high field ionization. We observe Thomson scattering, stimulated Raman scattering, and large wavelength shifting of the laser light.
