Abstract
By means of a quantitative shadowgraphic method, we performed a space–time characterization of the refractive index variation and transient absorption induced by a light–plasma filament generated by a laser pulse in water. The formation and evolution of the plasma channel in the proximity of the nonlinear focus were observed with a time resolution.
