Abstract
An expression for the mean-square frequency of a short intense laser pulse passing through an ionizable gas is derived for arbitrary 3D irradiation and observation geometries and pulse intensity. It is found that the resulting blue shift depends on the lasing intensity at the instant of ionization and on the ionization energy loss. Taking into account stimulated Raman backscattering increases the predicted value of the blue shift.
