Abstract

Relativistic self-focusing of cosh-Gaussian laser beam in the cold quantum plasma has been investigated theoretically. For a decentered parameter b=0.9, we present a comparative analysis for self-focusing of cosh-Gaussian laser beam in relativistic cold quantum (RCQ) and classical relativistic (CR) case. It is observed that as the beam penetrates deeper inside the RCQ plasma, the self-focusing ability of the laser beam enhances and shifted towards lower value of normalized propagation distance due to quantum contribution. The beam width parameter as a function of normalized propagation distance for various values of relative density parameter of the medium and intensity parameter has also been studied. The self-focusing is observed to be stronger with the increase in relative density parameter. Observation of early and strong self-focusing for higher values of relative density parameter and intensity parameter are reported. The present study might be very useful in the applications like the generation of inertial fusion energy driven by lasers, laser driven accelerators, scribing type of applications in electronics etc.
