Guiding of high-intensity laser pulses with a hydrogen-filled capillary discharge waveguide

Guiding of high-intensity laser pulses with a hydrogen-filled capillary discharge waveguide

We report guiding of laser pulses with peak input intensities greater than 10(17) W cm(-2) in 30 mm and 50 mm long H2-filled capillary discharge waveguides. Under conditions producing good guiding the coupling and propagation losses of the waveguide were
