Abstract

An off-axis incident model is presented to analyze the influence of beam pointing fluctuation on the propagation properties of intense laser beams in plasma channels. The equations for the beam spot size and centroid are obtained by applying the variational method. The beam pointing fluctuation contributes additional focusing effect by amplifying relativistic self-focusing, leading to periodically modified oscillations of the spot size. The beam centroid oscillates along the channel axis with the amplitude close to its initial off-axis displacement, while the oscillation frequency is scaled as the square of the dimensionless channel strength parameter.
