Abstract

The properties of the eigenmodes of a capillary tube are examined in the context of ultrashort intense laser pulse guiding. The dispersion relation for the eigenmodes of a cylindrical hollow waveguide is derived and the family of eigenmodes EHνs is shown to be a solution of the wave equation up to the first order under the condition k0a1, where k0 is the light wave number and a the capillary tube radius. The expressions of the fields for the eigenmodes are given at zero and first order of a small parameter equal to the ratio of the perpendicular to longitudinal wave number and the absorded intensity at the wall is estimated.
