Abstract :
Prepulse controlled laser beam propagation is demonstrated by utilizing transient refractive index in expanding-nanoplasma gases. The correlation between macroscopic refractive index and microscopic polarizability is verified, supporting the one-dimensional self-consistent hydrodynamic nanoplasma model.
