Simulations of the propagation of high-intensity laser pulses in discharge-ablated capillary waveguides

We present the results of simulations of the propagation of high-intensity laser pulses in discharge-ablated capillary waveguides. The limitations of this type of waveguide for pulse intensities of the order of 1016 W cm-2 are discussed. However, for higher intensities we describe a new regime of qu...
