Saturable Lorentz model for fully explicit three-dimensional modeling of nonlinear optics

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear susceptibility was provided by a harmonic oscillator driven by nonlinear force, chosen in a way to reproduce the polarization obtained from the solution of the quantum mechanical two-level equations.

Excitation-wavelength-dependent terahertz wave modulation via preformed air plasma

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported excitation-wavelength-dependent terahertz wave modulation via a preformed air plasma created by a synchronized 800-nm laser pulse traveling orthogonal to the pump pulses.

Diffraction of femtosecond pulses; nonparaxial regime

TL;DR: A systematic study of linear propagation of ultrashort laser pulses in media with dispersion, dispersionless media, and vacuum and an amplitude integrodifferential equation governing propagation of optical pulses in the single-cycle regime in solids is presented.

Influence of distance between sample surface and geometrical focal point on CN emission intensity from femtosecond laser-induced PMMA plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, a femtosecond laser is used to ablate polymethyl methacrylate and produce plasma with CN molecules to investigate the influence of the distance between the sample surface and geometrical focal point on CN emission intensity in air.

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.
