AbstractThe goal of this theory is to study the conversion of a fraction of a laser beam to its phase-mismatch second and third harmonics. This conversion takes place by focusing an intense laser beam into a transversely magnetized plasma, as a nonlinear medium. The influence of the polarization field is considered, however, the plasma density is below the critical density. It has already been revealed that for dense plasma, the second and third harmonics efficiencies decreased with density increasing in the presence of a sufficiently strong magnetic field. This result is in contrast to the under dense and weakly magnetized plasma, which the harmonics efficiencies increased with density increasing. It is shown that the harmonics radiation cut-off, when the magnetic field increases up until the saturation strength Bsat. In addition, the results indicated that the average phase-mismatch third harmonic conversion efficiency is a little smaller than the phase-match case reported for non-magnetized plasma.

In present paper the determination of the spot size of an ultra-short laser beam in uniform magnetized plasma with a dominant cold plasma has been studied. The liner dispersion relation of the laser beam propagating in Magnetized plasma have been found. Magnetic field is set up and source dependent expansion method is applied to determining the spot size of the intense laser beam with gaussian profile. The transverse magnetization of plasma and its impact on the self-focusing property of the dense laser governing to reduction in critical power necessary to self-focusing beam is shown.
