Abstract: | We discuss the nonlinear propagation of relativistically intense electromagnetic waves into collisionless plasmas with special
emphasis on one dimensional plane wave solutions of the propagating, standing and modulated types. These solutions exhibit
a rich variety of phenomena associated with relativistic electron mass variation and coupling between transverse electromagnetic
and longitudinal fields. They have important applications to problems of laser propagation, self-focusing in overdense plasmas,
particle and photon acceleration and to electromagnetic radiation around pulsars. |
