This paper introduces and discusses the main aspects of ultrashort laser pulse filamentation
in various transparent media such as air (gases), transparent solids and liquids. The …

Nonlinear propagation of intense femtosecond laser pulses in bulk transparent media leads
to a specific propagation regime, termed femtosecond filamentation, which in turn produces …

We report a comprehensive investigation of femtosecond continuum generation in single
crystals of several common laser host materials. The absolute spectral energy density, pulse …

Bulk liquid water is a strong absorber in the terahertz (THz) frequency range, due to which
liquid water has historically been sworn off as a source for THz radiation. Here, we …

The state of the art of investigations on filamentation of a high-power femtosecond laser
radiation in transparent media is reviewed. The physical picture of this phenomenon is …

We present a first-principles calculation for an optical dielectric breakdown in a diamond,
which is induced by an intense laser field. We employ the time-dependent density-functional …

State-of-the-art low band gap conjugated polymers have been investigated for application in
organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) to achieve efficient conversion of the wide spectrum of …

We present spectral measurements that uncover the detailed dynamics of the
supercontinuum generation in fused silica, YAG, and LiF crystals when pumped with 100 fs …

We report efficient generation of a broadband supercontinuum (SC) in water upon irradiation
by intense, near-infrared, femtosecond laser pulses. The SC spectra generated when the …

We experimentally investigate the spectral extent and spectral profile of the supercontinuum
(SC) generated in transparent solids: barium fluoride, calcium fluoride, and fused silica upon …
