Abstract

Hot plasmas generated by high intensity lasers are nonlinear mediums. In this medium numerous nonlinear phenomena can be attached to the laser experiments. Basics and some results for some nonlinear effects for example for high order harmonics generation, isochoric heating of the plasma particles by laser beams, self-focusing of the incident laser pulses and laser-driven charged particle acceleration in laser plasmas will be presented here.
