Predicting the filamentation of high-power beams and pulses without numerical integration: A nonlinear geometrical optics method
We present an analytic method for predicting the initial self-focusing dynamics of high-power beams and pulses. Using this method we study the filamentation pattern of a variety of input profiles, without solving partial differential equations. In particular, this method shows that in the anomalous regime, high-power pulses with temporal super-Gaussian profiles will split in time into two short...
متن کاملPower-scalable subcycle pulses from laser filaments
Compression of optical pulses to ultrashort pulse widths using methods of nonlinear optics is a well-established technology of modern laser science. Extending these methods to pulses with high peak powers, which become available due to the rapid progress of laser technologies, is, however, limited by the universal physical principles. With the ratio P/Pcr of the peak power of an ultrashort lase...
متن کاملStudy of filamentation with a high power high repetition rate ps laser at 1.03 µm.
We study the propagation of intense, high repetition rate laser pulses of picosecond duration at 1.03 µm central wavelength through air. Evidence of filamentation is obtained from measurements of the beam profile as a function of distance, from photoemission imaging and from spatially resolved sonometric recordings. Good agreement is found with numerical simulations. Simulations reveal an impor...
متن کاملControl of filamentation induced by femtosecond laser pulses propagating in air.
Filamentation formed by self-focusing of intense laser pulses propagating in air is investigated. It is found that the position of filamentation can be controlled continuously by changing the laser power and divergence angle of the laser beam. An analytical model for the process is given.
متن کاملOptical rogue wave statistics in laser filamentation.
We experimentally observed optical rogue wave statistics during high power femtosecond pulse filamentation in air. We characterized wavelength-dependent intensity fluctuations across 300 nm broadband filament spectra generated by pulses with several times the critical power for filamentation. We show how the statistics vary from a near-Gaussian distribution in the vicinity of the pump to a long...
