Abstract: | An exact, general solution for laser beams propagating in
longitudinally inhomogeneous plasmas is obtained in the form of
the diffraction integral. The Gaussian beam and the Hermite--Gaussian
beam are taken for example. In the case of an increasing plasma
density along the propagation distance, natural diffraction of the
Gaussian beam is retarded. This retardance has a less effect on the
central part of the Hermite--Gaussian beam while a considerable rise
of the power in bucket (PIB) occurs in the surrounding part of the
beam. |
