Laser-drivenplasma-based accelerators, which are capable of supporting fields in excessof 100 GV/m, are reviewed. This includes the laser wakefield accelerator,the plasma beat wave accelerator, the self-modulated laser wakefield accelerator,plasma waves driven by multiple laser pulses, and highly nonlinearregimes. The properties of linear and nonlinear plasma waves arediscussed, as well as electron acceleration in plasma waves. Methodsfor injecting and trapping plasma electrons in plasma waves arealso discussed. Limits to the electron energy gain are summarized,including laser pulse diffraction, electron dephasing, laser pulse energy depletion,and beam loading limitations. The basic physics of laser pulseevolution in underdense plasmas is also reviewed. This includes thepropagation, self-focusing, and guiding of laser pulses in uniform plasmasand with preformed density channels. Instabilities relevant to intense short-pulselaser-plasma interactions, such as Raman, self-modulation, and hose instabilities, arediscussed. Experiments demonstrating key physics, such as the production ofhigh-quality electron bunches at energies of 0.1–1 GeV, are summarized.
