Evolution and termination of a femtosecond laser filament in air

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The evolution of the filamentation of a femtosecond laser pulse in air is measured. The divergence of the filament core is almost constant over a long distance, encompassing a zone with efficient ionization followed by another where ionization is much weaker. At the end, the core diverges out linearly with a low divergence due to self-spatial filtering.
