摘要: The Heisenberg–Euler correction due to photon–photon scattering, a still unverified quantum electrodynamics effect, on electromagnetic wave interaction inside plasma channel is investigated theoretically. From signal laser beam in the relativistic overdense channel, scattering can produce detectable output of different frequency and polarization.
