Polarization and phase control of electron injection and acceleration in the plasma by a self-steepening laser pulse

We describe an interplay between two injection mechanism of background electrons into an evolving plasma bubble behind an intense laser pulse: one due to the overall bubble expansion, and another due to its periodic undulation. The two mechanisms occur simultaneously when an intense laser pulse prop...
