Near the critical layer, a p-polarized laser that impinges on a dense plasma having density gradient at an angle to the density gradient transforms into a plasma wave. Even after the laser pulse has stopped, the plasma wave survives. The electrons close to the crucial layer are heated by the plasma wave. Increased plasma pressure […]
In this theoretical study, we investigate the electron plasma wave excitation (EPW) by two copropagating high power laser beams in collisional nanocluster plasma. The interaction of electric field profile of laser beams causes the ionization of nanocluster and very quickly it converts into the plasma plume balls. The electric field profile of each super-Gaussian laser […]
