摘要
It is shown that an intense short laser pulse propagating through a semiconductor plasma will generate longitudinal Langmuir waves in its wake. The measurable wake field can be used as a diagnostic to study nonlinear optical phenomena. For narrow gap semiconductors (for example, InSb) with Kane-type dispersion relation, the system can simulate, at currently available laser powers, the physics underlying wake-held accelerators.
