Abstract

In the laser–plasma interaction, relativistic soliton formation is an interesting nonlinear phenomenon and important light mode convection in plasmas. Here, it is shown by three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations that relativistic toroidal solitons, composed of intense light self-consistently trapped in toroidal plasma cavities, can be produced by azimuthally-polarized relativistic laser pulses in a near-critical underdense plasma.
