Laser propagation in a highly magnetized over-dense plasma

Plasma Physics 2020-12-02 v2

Abstract

Propagation of right-hand circularly polarized laser into highly magnetized over-dense collisional plasma is analytically studied from basic equations. Highly magnetized plasma with density of 10^23 cm^-3 is efficiently heated from 100 eV to 1 keV within depth of around 20 \mu{m} in one nanosecond by Nd:YAG laser with moderate irradiance of around 10^14 Wcm^-2.
