Abstract
The theory of magnetic field generation due to the interaction of short relativistic laser pulses with underdense plasmas has been developed. The magnetic field is generated due to the inverse Faraday effect occurring witha circularly polarized laser pulse. The spatial distribution of the magnetic field is investigated. It is shown that the magnetic field magnitude depends on the relationship between the laser beam radius and the plasma skin-depth.
