Abstract

Slow pulsed capillary discharges were under investigation for use as plasma channel waveguides in laser-wakefield acceleration and high-harmonics generation. The channel radius has a strong influence on the plasma and guiding properties. Hence, it is expected that the guiding properties can be manipulated by locally modifying the radius. This presumption was investigated by a numerical simulation of a channel with a periodically modulated radius. The simulation revealed a strongly nonlinear response of the plasma and wall properties to the modulation. However, no modulation of the laser guiding properties is obsd. [on SciFinder (R)]
