Nonlinear theory of intense laser-plasma interactions

Sprangle, P., Esarey, E., Ting, A.·1990·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

A nonlinear theory of intense laser-plasma interactions is developed and used to describe relativistic optical guiding, coherent harmonic radiation production, and nonlinear plasma wakefield generation. Relativistic optical guiding is found to be ineffective in preventing the leading portion (\ensuremath{\le} a plasma wavelength) of a laser pulse from diffracting. Coherent harmonic generation is found to be most efficient for short laser pulses. Optical guiding and harmonic generation may be enhanced by the presence of large amplitude plasma wakefields. These phenomena may be important in laser-driven plasma accelerators, x-ray sources, and fusion schemes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
