Proton probe imaging of fields within a laser-generated plasma channel

The proton probing technique is used to image quasi-static electromagnetic fields present in the wake of a high-intensity short-pulse laser propagating through an underdense plasma. Bubblelike field structures form along the channel filaments and expand in time. © 2006 IEEE.
