研究目的
To develop a new ray tracing model based on the Zemax software for simulating the envelope of a laser beam propagating through a plasma waveguide, including complex scenarios like curved plasma waveguides.
研究成果
The Zemax-based ray tracing model successfully simulates laser beam propagation through plasma waveguides, including complex geometries like curved capillaries. The model's accuracy was confirmed through comparisons with theoretical predictions and interferometric measurements.
研究不足
The model is limited to low intensity laser beams (a0 << 1) and does not account for effects like relativistic self-focusing and pump depletion at higher intensities.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A custom dynamic-link library (DLL) for Zemax was developed to define a parabolic refractive index profile for plasma waveguides.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focused on plasma waveguides with specific electron density profiles.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Zemax software was used for ray tracing simulations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Simulations included straight and curved plasma waveguides, with comparisons made to theoretical models.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Interferometric data from simulations were analyzed to retrieve electron plasma density profiles.
