Self-focusing Distance of Very High Power Laser Pulses.
We show numerically for continuous-wave beams and experimentally for femtosecond pulses propagating in air, that the collapse distance of intense laser beams in a bulk Kerr medium scales as 1/P;1/2 for input powers P that are moderately above the critical power for self focusing, but that at higher powers the collapse distance scales as 1/P.
متن کاملCritical power for self-focusing in the case of ultrashort laser pulses
We attempt to evaluate the applicability of the concept of the critical power for self-focusing, originally developed for intense quasi-continuous-wave (cw) beams, to the case of ultra-intense and ultrashort laser pulses propagating in air. Our results show that, unlike in the cw case, no particular value of peak pulse power can be viewed as a sharp demarcation line between linear and nonlinear...
متن کاملVacuum self-focusing of very intense laser beams
We argue that long-range photon-photon attraction induced by the dipole interaction of two electron-positron loops can lead to "vacuum self-focusing" of very intense laser beams. The focusing angle Î ̧F is found to increase with the beam intensity I as Î ̧F âˆ1⁄4 I4/3; for the laser beams available at present or in the near future, Î ̧F 10-10 10-7.

Experiments in vhich the powers of tvo SLAC klystrons vere combined and fed into a resonant cavity pulse-compression system (SLED) are described. Pulse povers up to 65 MU into SLED vere reached. The corresponding instantaneous peak power out of SLED vas 390 MU. After normal initial aging, no persistent RF breakdown problems were encountered. X-radiation at the SLED cavities vas generally less t...
متن کاملPicosecond to femtosecond pulses from high power self mode-locked ytterbium rod-type fiber laser.
We have designed an ytterbium rod-type fiber laser oscillator with tunable pulse duration. This system that delivers more than 10 W of average power is self mode-locked. It yields femtosecond to picosecond laser pulses at a repetition rate of 74 MHz. The pulse duration is adjusted by changing the spectral width of a band pass filter that is inserted in the laser cavity. Using volume Bragg grati...
