It is likely that powerful new focusing methods will be required for the linear colliders of the future. One scheme that shows much promise is plasma focusing in which a particle bunch traversing a plasma is focused by its own wake-fields. The authors present a review of the theory of self pinching due to plasma wake-fields and extend these previous results by discussing how this effect might be of use in constructing a short focal length plasma lens. They then discuss the general properties of short focal length lenses, and the luminosity enhancement that can be theoretically obtained from them. They also examine some of the practical issues involved in installing a plasma lens in a linear collider. (12 References).
