channels as in Fig. 7.19, each channel may also have a hot electron flow inside and
consequently the static magnetic field surrounding each channel. The Lorentz forces
to the neighbor current channels in the same direction of current vectors are attractive
force to cause the merger of the channels. So, the coalescence of the broken-up
filaments may occur to unify to form a single channel in a certain condition. It is,
however, difficult to say which is dominant: the breakup of the laser beam or the
coalescence of the beams to form a single beam. It may be difficult to control the
phenomena because the physics is highly nonlinear.
