Observation of laser power amplification in a self-injecting laser wakefield accelerator

We report on the depletion and power amplification of the driving laser pulse in a strongly driven laser wakefield accelerator. Simultaneous measurement of the transmitted pulse energy and temporal shape indicate an increase in peak power from 187 ± 11 TW to a maximum of 318 ± 12 TW after 13 mm of p...
