TLDR
In this paper, a femtosecond laser pulse propagates in an optical medium, self-focusing occurs, and the most powerful part of the pulse self focuses first during its propagation.Abstract:
When a powerful femtosecond laser pulse propagates in an optical medium, self-focusing occurs. Normally, it is the most powerful part (slice) of the pulse that self-focuses first during its propaga...read more

Detection of broadband terahertz waves with a laser-induced plasma in gases.
TL;DR: By introducing the second-harmonic component of the white light in the laser-induced plasma as a local oscillator, coherent detection of broadband THz waves with ambient air is demonstrated for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics and applications of atmospheric nonlinear optics and filamentation
TL;DR: Filamentation is a non-linear propagation regime specific of ultrashort and ultraintense laser pulses in the atmosphere that Typical applications include remote sensing of atmospheric gases and aerosols, lightning control, laser-induced spectroscopy, coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering, and the generation of sub-THz radiation.

TL;DR: In this article, a general basis for the formalism is developed, and it is then applied to find transition probabilities for any order of interaction for both linearly and circularly polarized plane-wave fields.
