Generation and Characterization of Phase-Stable Sub-Single-Cycle Pulses at 3000 cm $^{-1}$
TL;DR: In this paper, a sub-single-cycle infrared (IR) pulse was generated through a laser filament and the detailed properties of the generated pulses were analyzed with a carrier-envelope phase determination.

TL;DR: An experimental technique is proposed that allows for a complete characterization of the amplitude and phase of optical pulses in space and time by the combination of a spatially resolved spectral measurement in the near and far fields and a frequency-resolved optical gating measurement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the filamentation of IR and UV laser pulses has been studied numerically and experimentally for different initial beam focusing geometries, and linear electron density profiles along the plasma channel of filaments have been obtained.

Giantically blue-shifted visible light in femtosecond mid-IR filament in fluorides
TL;DR: It is shown that the formation of this narrow visible wing is a result of the interference of the supercontinuum components in the anomalous group velocity dispersion regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring easily electron plasma densities in gases produced by ultrashort lasers and filaments.
TL;DR: It is shown that calibration can be achieved using a single absolute plasma density measurement through an independent analytical technique, in this case the in-line holographic microscopy (i-HOM), and the validity and power of the method is shown.

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.
