Abstract
The possibility to generate plasma channels with a variable plasma density profile in a longitudinal direction is presented. The measured plasma density profiles at the capillary exit were found in excellent agreement with the numerical simulations. Such plasma channels can be used for the velocity control of the guided high-intensity laser beams in order to extend the acceleration distance.
