“…In this growing field (Kare 1987) there will be a gradual progression from relatively low-power applications such as de-orbiting space junk (Phipps 1996) to high power as applied to a variety of orbital manoeuvres, and finally to an actual laser launch. Buccellato et al (1993b) suggested configuring the exhaust section of a DF laser as a rarefaction gas lens (figure 5h). The high specific impulse available from LISP makes it an exciting orbital alternative that is capable of prolonging the useful life of many satellites.…”

The words of this title may at first seem incompatible. We review a range of experiments where dynamic structures have been created. We show that it is possible to construct gas and plasma shapes using colliding shocks cigars and cylinders, curved waveguides, and even waveguides with rectangular cross sections. The colliding plasma lens/isolator lead to the colliding shock lens. We now suggest that colliding shock waveguides could find application in laser acceleration and soft X ray schemes. Colliding shock waveguides can be as long as necessary unlike gas jets.
