The asymmetric spatial distribution of electron density perturbation is observed by using a frequency-domain interferometry technique. The wake amplitude of the outside bump is enhanced by the elliptical distribution of the pump laser pulse. This asymmetry can be explained with a two-dimensional analytical model expanded from cylindrically symmetric linear theory.
