In this paper, the propagation of a Gaussian and femtosecond laser pulse through a plasma channel is considered and the amount of induced chirp, as well as it’s type, on laser pulse frequency has been investigated. The group velocity dispersion (GVD) and relativistic effects has been taken into account in propagation equations. It is concluded that the relativistic effect induces positive chirp...

In this paper, electron acceleration in the field of laser pulse is investigated. To limit the interaction region for electron pulse, which is required for acceleration, a new method is presented based on the injection of electron on temporal peak of the laser pulse. In this method, the electron is provided by a plasma source and is steered inside the laser field by utilizing the magnetic field...

One of the interesting Laser-Plasma phenomena, when the laser power is high and ultra intense, is the generation of large amplitude plasma waves (Wakefield) and electron acceleration. An intense electromagnetic laser pulse can create plasma oscillations through the action of the nonlinear pondermotive force. electrons trapped in the wake can be accelerated to high energies, more than 1 TW. Of t...

In this study, we considered the self-focusing of a Gaussian laser pulse in an unmagnetized plasma. The equation of plasma density evolution that includes the electrons ponderomotive force is obtained. Then an equation for the width of laser pulse with a relativistic mass correction term is derived. This term is proportional to the electrons temperature. It is shown that in the large width limi...

 We have considered the self-focusing of a Gaussian laser pulse in unmagnetized plasma. High-intensity electromagnetic fields cause the variation of electron density in plasma. These changes in the special conditions cause the acceleration of electrons to the higher energy and velocities. Thus the equation of plasma density evolution was obtained considering the electrons ponderomotive force. T...

In this paper, the self-focusing property of an intense circularly polarized laser pulse in hot magnetized plasma is investigated theoretically. First, an envelope equation governing the spot-size of the laser beam for both left- and right-hand polarizations has been derived in the presence of a planar wiggler. Furthermore, non-linear dispersion relation of laser pulse is obtained by using Maxw...

In this study, the design and construction of a pulse high repetition rate (HRR), transverse atmospheric pressure (TEA) CO2 laser with ultra violet preionization is presented. In this laser, normal pure, industrial gases and also a combination of spark and corona preionization are used. In semi-sealed off condition, we obtained 220 watts at 300 Hz, %7.7 efficiency, 735 mJ/pulse. The best record...
