Influence of non-linearity of medium on the laser induced filamentation instability in magnetized plasma
The effects of the non-linearity of the medium on the growth rate of filamentation instability in a magnetized plasma interacting with an intense laser pulse, is investigated. The non-linearity of the medium, modeled by Kerr non-linearity, is an important factor, which determines the rate of instability growth. Sensitivity of the rate of filamentation growth, to the Kerr non-linear coefficient could be adjusted by the external magnetic field and laser intensity.
