Self-focusing dynamics of ultraintense accelerating Airy waveforms in water
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report experiments and numerical simulations on the self-focusing and filamentation of ultraintense femtosecond Airy waveforms in water, which results in the generation of distinct features in the angularly resolved spectra of forward-propagating supercontinuum emission.

Development of nonperturbative nonlinear optics models including effects of high order nonlinearities and of free electron plasma: Maxwell-Schrödinger equations coupled with evolution equations for polarization effects, and the SFA-like nonlinear optics model
TL;DR: In this article, a non-conventional nonlinear optics model for short electromagnetic fields propagating in a gas is proposed, which allows for inclusion of high order nonlinearities as well as free electron plasma effects.

New mechanism for THz oscillation of the nonlinear refractive index in air: particle-like solutions
TL;DR: In this article, a generalized nonlinear envelope equation governing the propagation of optical pulses, with superbroad spectrum, in air is described, and the corresponding modified nonlinear term in the equation oscillates with terahertz frequency.

Plasma perspective on strong field multiphoton ionization.
TL;DR: During strong-field multiphoton ionization, a wave packet is formed each time the laser field passes its maximum value, and one important parameter which determines the strength of these effects is the rate at which the wave packet spreads in the direction perpendicular to the laser electric field.
