Abstract

In present paper the determination of the spot size of an ultra-short laser beam in uniform magnetized plasma with a dominant cold plasma has been studied. The liner dispersion relation of the laser beam propagating in Magnetized plasma have been found. Magnetic field is set up and source dependent expansion method is applied to determining the spot size of the intense laser beam with gaussian profile. The transverse magnetization of plasma and its impact on the self-focusing property of the dense laser governing to reduction in critical power necessary to self-focusing beam is shown.
