Research Abstract |
We investigated solitons that are formed via the interaction of intense laser pulses with gaseous plasma. By focusing a 800-nm laser pulse onto a helium gas-jet with a relativistic intensity, electromagnetic(EM) radiation with an infrared region(2-14μm) and a teraherz region(10GHz-40THz) were observed. Since the EM radiation has a same polarization direction as the laser, it is inferred that the radiation comes from solitons. In addition, we observed scattered radiation in a 90degree shadowgraph with a counter-propagating probe pulse. The scattered radiation becomes intense as the pump laser propagates. The radiation seems to be the scattered counter-propagating probe pulse by the soliton density walls.
