title: Numerical and analytical models to study the laser-driven plasma perturbation in a dielectric gas-filled capillary waveguide.
abstract: An alternative fast approach to study the propagation of an intense laser pulse through a dielectric capillary waveguide filled with plasma is presented. The numerical model computes the evolution of the capillary mode coupling coefficients and from these the properties of the laser and plasma response are retrieved. Moreover, an analytical description of the process is presented and compared to the numerical model.
