Laser Physics at Relativistic Intensities

Laser Physics at Relativistic Intensities by A.V. Borovsky, A.L. Galkin, O.B. Shiryaev, T. Auguste.

This book addresses the nonlinear interactions of ultra-high-intensity electromagnetic radiation with matter. It describes fundamentally new regimes of laser pulse propagation, including relativistic and charge-displacement self-channelling and instabilities of electromagnetic radiation in plasmas (...
