N. Naseri, S. G. Bochkarev, W. Rozmus

摘要:

采用二维粒子模拟方法研究了强激光脉冲在欠密等离子体中的相对论自聚焦和沟道效应。在PIC模拟中恢复了稳态真空通道的解析解。结果表明,否则稳定的通道可以加速电子由于表面波的通道的墙壁上。有限电子密度的相对论细丝对横向调制是不稳定的,横向调制导致激光脉冲在非线性阶段分裂成独立的细丝。不同制度的相对论性自聚焦和沟道,包括电子加热,横向不稳定性和分裂的细丝进行了讨论,其特征在于使用等离子体密度和激光功率。

英文摘要:

Relativistic self-focusing and channeling of intense laser pulses have been studied in underdense plasma using 2D PIC simulations, for different laser powers and plasma densities. Analytical solutions for the stationary evacuated channels have been recovered in PIC simulations. It is shown that otherwise stable channels can accelerate electrons due to surface waves on the walls of the channels. Relativistic filaments with finite electron density are unstable to transverse modulations which lead in the nonlinear stage to the break-up of laser pulses into independent filaments. Different regimes of relativistic self-focusing and channeling, including electron heating, transverse instability and break-up of the filaments have been discussed and characterized using plasma density and laser power.
