摘要：

A two-dimensional, axisymmetric, relativistic fluid model describing the propagation of intense laser pulses in plasmas is formulated and numerically evaluated. Relativistic guiding is ineffective in preventing the diffractive spreading of short laser pulses and long pulses become modulated due to relativistic and wake-field effects. Laser pulses can be propagated over many Rayleigh lengths by use of a preformed plasma density channel or by tailoring the pulse profile. Ultrahigh axial electric fields can be generated behind the laser pulse.
