Abstract

AbstractThis paper deals with the analytical study of the effect of chirping of a laser pulse on its intensity profile, as it propagates in plasma. Considering a matched laser beam, graphical analysis of the intensity distribution across the chirped laser pulse and growth of modulation instability has been presented. Further, considering finite pulse effects to be a perturbation, the growth rate of modulation instability of the chirped laser pulse is evaluated and compared with that obtained due to an unchirped pulse.
