Description

In this paper, evolution of the spot size of an intense laser beam propagating in axially magnetized, cold, underdense plasma has been studied. The effect of longitudinal magnetization on the laser spot for a left as well as a right circularly polarized laser beam has been considered. Critical power for nonlinear self-focusing of the beam in magnetized plasma has been obtained
