Relativistic self focusing and frequency shift of super-Gaussian laser beam in plasma

Relativistic self focusing and frequency shift of laser beam having super-Gaussian profile in space and Gaussian profile in time is studied in a plasma. The relativistic mass nonlinearity is found to cause time dependent self focusing of the laser pulse and the saturation effect of nonlinearity avoi...
