摘要
We present a theoretical model of the quasi-static magnetic field generation in a laser channel, which is formed behind the front of a short laser pulse that ionises a gas. The generation of a magnetic field is caused by the appearance of the electron pressure anisotropy during tunnelling ionisation of atoms. In the considered case of subrelativistic laser light intensities, the generated magnetic field can reach similar to 1 MG with an energy transformation ratio of about 1%, which paves the way for identifying the proposed mechanism when use is made of a wide class of ultrashort pulse lasers.
