Remote Detection of Uranium Using Self-Focusing Intense Femtosecond Laser Pulses by Miloš Burger, Patrick J. Skrodzki, Lauren A. Finney, John Nees, Igor Jovanovic

“…Detection of uranium over long distances presents one such challenge that is difficult to realize with traditional ionizing radiation detection, but may benefit from the use of techniques based on intense femtosecond laser pulses. When a high-power laser pulse propagates in air, it experiences collapse and confinement into filaments over an extended distance even without external focusing. …”

Nonlinear interaction of charged particles with nonplane counterpropagating laser pulses of relativistic intensities by H. K. Avetissian, Kh. V. Sedrakian

“…The nonlinear threshold phenomena of particle reflection and capture of electrons in the induced Compton process that have previously been revealed in the case of plane monochromatic counterpropagating waves, take place also with the actual nonplane laser pulses of ultrashort duration and lead to particle acceleration. …”

Propagation of intense laser pulses in plasma with a prepared phase-space distribution by Devki N. Gupta, Samuel R. Yoffe, Arohi Jain, Bernhard Ersfeld, Dino A. Jaroszynski

“…Abstract Optimizing the laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) requires control of the intense driving laser pulse and its stable propagation. This is usually challenging because of mode mismatching arising from relativistic self-focusing, which invariably alters the velocity and shape of the laser pulse. …”
