In this paper, self-focusing of intense laser pulse propagating along the obliquely external magnetic field on the collisional magnetoactive plasma by using the perturbation theory have been studied. The wave equation describing the interaction of intense laser pulse with collisional magnetoactive plasma is derived. In addition, employing source-dependent expansion (SDE) method, the analysis of the laser spot-size is discussed. It is shown that with increasing of the angle in obliquely external magnetic field, the spot-size of laser pulse decreases and as a result laser pulse becomes more focused. Furthermore, it is concluded that the self-focusing quality of the laser pulse has been enhanced due to the presence of obliquely external magnetic field in the collisional magnetoactive plasma. Besides, it is seen that with increasing of [Formula: see text], the laser spot-size reduces and subsequently the self-focusing of the laser pulse in plasma enhances. Moreover, it is found that changing the collision effect in the magnetoactive plasma leads to increases of self-focusing properties.
