摘要：

A plasma channel produced by a short laser pulse is axially nonuniform due to self-defocusing of the laser. When a delayed second laser pulse propagates through the channel, diffraction and refraction effects do not balance each other exactly, resulting in periodic beam radius variation with the distance of propagation.
