Dynamics of ultra-intense circularly polarized solitons under inhomogeneous plasmas

The dynamics of the ultra-intense circularly polarized solitons under inhomogeneous plasmas are examined. The interaction is modeled by the Maxwell and relativistic hydrodynamic equations and is solved with fully implicit energy-conserving numerical scheme. The soliton is self-consistently generated by the interaction between laser and plasma on the vacuum-plasma interface, and the generation mechanism is well confirmed by two dimensional particle-in-cell simulation. It is shown that a propagating weak soliton can be decreased and reflected by increasing plasma background, which is consistent with the existing studies based on hypothesis of weak density response. However, it is found that ultra-intense soliton is well trapped and kept still when encountering increasing background. Probably, this founding can be applied for trapping and amplifying high-intensity laser-fields.
