Guiding of high-intensity picosecond laser pulses in a discharge-ablated capillary waveguide
The results of a study of the channeling of intense picosecond laser pulses by a discharge-ablated capillary waveguide are presented. The peak-energy transmission for a 10-mm-long waveguide is measured to be 65% for an input intensity of 1 × 1016 W cm-2. The importance of inverse bremsstrahlung, sti...
