Optical guiding of high-intensity laser pulses in a long plasma channe
l formed by a slow capillary discharge is proposed. The obtained plasm
a channel parameters are studied, and the methods by which they can be
Initial results demonstrating guiding in one transverse dimension in
such a plasma channel are presented. (C) 1996 Optical Society of Ameri
