Abstract

Distortion-free guiding of 0.2×1018 W/cm2 pulses through a fully-ionized 1.5 cm He plasma channel was discussed. 800 nm, 80 fs, 50 mJ pulses focused to beam diameter 16 μm at the channel entrance by an f/8 off-axis parabolic mirror, exit the channel with ∼50% of incident energy, undistorted transverse mode and undistorted spectrum. Transverse interferometry confirmed that the resulting channels were fully ionized.
