Description

As an intense, nonuniform ultrashort laser pulse strikes the overdense plasma, the electron mass increases and the electron plasma frequency decreases due to relativistic effect. Laser wave can penetrate the plasma more deeply. When laser beam is nonuniform, a channel forms as a result of strong ponderomotive force which is clearly shown by two-dimensional particle simulation
