Investigation of a hydrogen plasma waveguide
A hydrogen plasma waveguide for high-intensity laser pulses is described. The guiding channel is formed by a small-scale discharge in a hydrogen-filled capillary. The measured lifetime of the capillary is inferred to be greater than 10 6 shots. The results of interferometric...

| description | A hydrogen plasma waveguide for high-intensity laser pulses is described. The guiding channel is formed by a small-scale discharge in a hydrogen-filled capillary. The measured lifetime of the capillary is inferred to be greater than 10 6 shots. The results of interferometric measurements of the electron density in the capillary are presented. The guiding channel is found to be highly ionized with an axial electron density of 2.7 ×10 18 cm -3, and parabolic, the curvature corresponding to a matched spot-size of 37.5 μm. ©2000 The American Physical Society. |
