Laser–Plasma Wake Velocity Control by Multi-Mode Beatwave Excitation in a Channel

The phase velocity of a laser-driven wakefield can be efficiently controlled in a plasma channel. A beatwave of two long laser pulses is used. The frequency difference between these two laser pulses equals the local plasma frequency, so that the slow resonant excitation of the plasma wave is possibl...
