Intensity limits for propagation of 0.527 microm laser beams through large-scale-length plasmas for inertial confinement fusion.

We have established the intensity limits for propagation of a frequency-doubled (2omega, 527 nm) high intensity interaction beam through an underdense large-scale-length plasma. We observe good beam transmission at laser intensities at or below 2x10(14) W/cm(2) and a strong reduction at intensities...
