Long distance filamentation of 400 nm femtosecond laser pulses in air
Zhe Zhang,Xin Lu,Tingting Xi,Wenxi Liang,Zuoqiang Hao,Y. Zhang,Mu-Lin Zhou,Z. H. Wang,Jie Zhang,Jie Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of light filaments formed by λ=400 nm blue femtosecond laser pulses are experimentally investigated and the results indicate that the up conversion of laser is a possible way to enhance the utilization of laser energy for the generation of long filaments.

Dynamics of CO(2) laser pulse filamentation in air influenced by spectrally selective molecular absorption.
TL;DR: The theoretical aspects of self-focusing and filamentation of high-power pulsed CO(2) laser radiation with carrier wavelength 10.6 μm in air are considered and the spectrally selective molecular absorption of realistic atmospheric air is included in the theoretical model.

Collapse dynamics of a vector vortex optical field with inhomogeneous states of polarization
TL;DR: In this paper, the collapse dynamics of a vector field with hybrid states of polarization (SoP) in a Kerr medium is demonstrated, based on a pair of coupled 2D nonlinear Schrodinger equations.

Multioctave supercontinua and subcycle lightwave electronics [Invited]
TL;DR: The term “supercontinuum generation” has been seamlessly extended, thanks to its all-embracing character, to include very-high-order and nonperturbative nonlinear optical processes and now applies to ultrabroadband field waveform generation in the ultraviolet and x-ray ranges, as well as high-harmonic attosecond and zeptosecond supercontinua.

Simulations of 10 μm filaments in a realistically modeled atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the formation and propagation dynamics of 10 μm filaments in the atmosphere were numerically studied and it was shown that the carrier self-steepening regularization mechanism predicted for 4 μm wavelengths still holds.

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.
