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 measure the nonlinear refractive index coefficients in N_2, O_2, and Ar from visible through mid-infrared wavelengths (λ= 0.4–2.4 μm). The wavelengths investigated …
Direct Measurement of the Electron Density of Extended Femtosecond Laser Pulse-Induced Filaments Page 1 Direct Measurement of the Electron Density of Extended Femtosecond Laser …
The field of attosecond science was first enabled by nonlinear compression of intense laser pulses to a duration below two optical cycles. Twenty years later, creating such short pulses …
We demonstrate laser-plasma acceleration of high charge electron beams to the∼ 10 MeV scale using ultrashort laser pulses with as little energy as 10 mJ. This result is made …
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 …
We report the first observation of the strong effect of quantum rotational wave packets in atmospheric air on the long-range filamentary propagation of intense femtosecond laser …
We directly measure the nonlinear optical response in argon and nitrogen in a thin gas target to laser intensities near the ionization threshold. No instantaneous negative nonlinear …
