AB - Two approaches are used to extend the propagation distance of a very intense laser pulse well beyond a Rayleigh length xR in an underdense plasma. The first method injects the intense pulse into a preformed plasma fiber. The other one allows the intense pulse itself to create its own optical fiber by transversely modifying the refractive index of the plasma which occurs when the laser power exceed the critical power for relativistic self-guiding. Evidence of relativistic guiding is seen in images of either plasma recombination light or sidescattered pump light or its second harmonic.
