We investigate high-power terahertz (THz) generation in two-color laser filamentation using terawatt (TW) lasers including a 0.5 TW, 1 kHz system, as well as 2 and 30 TW systems both …

The distant projection of high-peak and average-power laser beams in the atmosphere is a long-standing goal with a wide range of applications. Our early proof-of-principle …
We demonstrate that femtosecond filaments can set up an extended and robust thermal waveguide structure in air with a lifetime of several milliseconds, making possible the very …

Femtosecond laser pulses filamenting in various gases are shown to generate long-lived quasi-stationary cylindrical depressions or 'holes' in the gas density. For our experimental …
We report measurements concerning the propagation of femtosecond laser pulses in fused silica with a wavelength at 1.9 μ m falling in the negative group velocity dispersion region …
The absolute time-dependent nonlinear response of O 2, N 2, N 2 O, and Ar to intense nonionizing, ultrashort optical pump pulses is measured with single-shot spectral …
The interaction between a large number of laser filaments brought together using weak external focusing leads to the emergence of few filamentary structures reminiscent of …
We demonstrate scalable terahertz (THz) generation by focusing terawatt, two-color laser pulses in air with a cylindrical lens. This focusing geometry creates a two-dimensional air …
