Phys. Rev. E 82, 016402 (2010) [7 pages]Spatiotemporal evolution of high-power relativistic laser pulses in electron-positron-ion plasmasReceived 18 March 2010; published 2 July 2010 The spatiotemporal pulse dynamics of a high-power relativistic laser pulse interacting with an electron-positron-ion plasmas is investigated theoretically and numerically. The occurrence of pulse compression is studied. The dependence of the mechanism on the concentration of the background ions in electron positron plasma is emphasized. © 2010 The American Physical Society URL:
