Laser-guided energetic discharges over large air gaps by electric-field enhanced plasma filaments.
TL;DR: The conductivity and lifetime of long plasma channels produced by ultrashort laser pulses is enhanced efficiently over many orders of magnitude by the electric field of a hybrid AC-DC high-voltage source.

Explicit formulation of second and third order optical nonlinearity in the FDTD framework
TL;DR: An explicit method to include second and third order optical nonlinearity in the FDTD framework based on a nonlinear generalization of the Lorentz dispersion model is presented, starting from the quantum mechanical equations describing nonlinear optics in the two-level approximation.

Sensitivity of propagation and energy deposition in femtosecond filamentation to the nonlinear refractive index
TL;DR: In this paper, the axial dependence of femtosecond filamentation in air is measured under conditions of varying laser pulsewidth, energy, and focusing f-number, and the results are compared to 2D + 1 simulations of pulse propagation, whose results are highly sensitive to the instantaneous nonlinear response of N2 and O2.

Transverse pump-probe microscopy of moving breakdown, filamentation and self-organized absorption in alkali aluminosilicate glass using ultrashort pulse laser.
TL;DR: Time and space resolved transverse pump-probe measurements of the free electron and defect generation induced by nonlinear absorption of ultra short pulsed laser radiation in unhardened Corning Gorilla glass reveal different absorption regimes like filamentation and moving breakdown as well as the formation of permanent modifications.

High-frame-rate observation of single femtosecond laser pulse propagation in fused silica using an echelon and optical polarigraphy technique
TL;DR: High-frame-rate observations of a single femtosecond laser pulse propagating in transparent medium are demonstrated using the optical polarigraphy technique and an echelon using the single-shot measurements.

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.
