摘要
A class of exact one-dimensional solutions for modulated light pulses coupled to electron plasma waves in a relativistic cold plasma is investigated. The solutions are in the form of isolated envelope solitons and the nonlinear relationship between their group velocity, amplitude, and frequency are discussed. Numerical results are presented for intense pulses propagating close to the velocity of light, such pulses are of great interest from the point of view of particle and photon accelerators.
