摘要：

A laser pulse with a power of ∼3 TW and a duration of 1 ps has been focused onto a gas. Ultrahigh-gradient electron acceleration has been observed in the laser-produced plasma with a density of ∼1019 cm-3 when injecting 1 MeV /c electrons. The simulation of the laser-plasma interaction revealed the existence of ultrahigh-gradient wake fields excited due to self-modulation of the laser pulse and its electron acceleration, consistent with the experimental results. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
