Résumé

The depletion of a relativistically strong laser pulse in the course of interaction with underdense plasmas is considered. The driving mechanisms of distortion and fast depletion of the pulse due to the nonlinear plasma wake excitation are discussed. The role of the backward stimulated Raman scattering in the process of the leading front steepening is traced. Electron acceleration and heating due to plasma wave breaking are demonstrated. The evidence that the final stage of the pulse depletion can be accompanied by the formation of relativistically strong solitonlike electromagnetic modes is presented.
