  Journal of Modern Optics, Taylor & Francis, 2003, 50 (3/4), pp.673 - 681. The interaction of an intense laser pulse (intensity, greater than 10^19 Wcm^-2) has been studied with underdense deuterium plasmas. The laser pulse is found to be self-modulated at the plasma frequency by the Raman forward-scatter instability. Wave breaking of the resulting plasma wave causes high-energy electrons to be accelerated beyond 100MeV. (10.1080/09500340210149705)
