Simultaneous polarization transformation and amplification of multi-petawatt laser pulses in magnetized plasmas
A magnetized plasma acts as a waveplate that converts a 5 PW linearly polarized pulse to circular polarization while amplifying it to >10 PW with 98% efficiency, with thickness scaling as 1/(n_e B_0^2).
