Effect of light absorption and temperature on self-focusing of finite Airy–Gaussian beams in a plasma with relativistic and ponderomotive regime

In the present paper, we have studied the influence of light absorption and temperature on self-focusing of finite Airy–Gaussian beams in plasma by considering the combined effects of relativistic and the ponderomotive regime. The nonlinear differential equations of dimensionless beam-width parameter are derived using the paraxial ray and Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin approximation, and they are solved numerically. The effect of absorption coefficient, plasma electron temperature, relative plasma density, intensity parameter and modulation parameter beam on the self-focusing of finite Airy–Gaussian beams in plasma is presented numerically and discussed.
