Multiple filamentation Ti:Sapphire-laser pulses in water

The results of experimental studies of the spatial characteristics of multiple filamentation terawatt femtosecond Ti:Salaser in water are presented. With an increase in initial power laser pulses increases the number of filaments, the length of the field is increased filamentation and reducing the length of the filaments have been shown. The distribution of the filaments in the longitudinal direction of the field of multiple filamentation has a maximum cross-sectional filament is shifted from the center to the periphery of the beam at the end region of filamentation. The minimum diameter of the beam on the track corresponds to the position of the maximum number of filaments. After the point of maximum impulse essentially loses energy in the initial direction of propagation. Upon reaching the pulse power 2 104 Pcr of multiple filamentation area is formed of a hollow cone, the apex directed to the radiation source

Filamentation of focused and collimated laser beams in liquids

Experimental results of investigations into the transformation of the spectral and spatial characteristics of femtosecond collimated and focused Ti:Sapphire-laser beams with wavelengths of 800 and 400 nm upon filamentation in continuous liquid media are presented. It is shown that broadening of the laser pulse spectrum due to phase self-modulation in the medium with a cubic nonlinearity depends on the pulse power and beam diameter. Dependences of the number of filaments, width of laser radiation spectrum, nonlinear focusing distance, and diameter of the filamentation region on the laser pulse power are measured. The existence of a relative power interval in which the explosive growth of the number of filaments occurs, is established. © (2015) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Filamentation of collimated Ti:sapphire-laser pulses in the glass

The results of experiments to study the spatial characteristics of multiple filamentation gigawatt laser pulses in the glass are presented. It is shown that with increasing pulse power multiple filamentation region increases in length and diameter, the distribution of filaments within the region has a maximum value when the power > 105 Pcr area filamentation takes the form of a hollow cone, the apex directed to the source of the laser radiation

Multiple filamentation of laser pulses in the glass

Results are presented of experiments on investigation of the spatial characteristics of multi-filamentation region of giga- and terawatt pulses of a Ti:sapphire laser in a glass. Dependences are obtained of the coordinate of the beginning of filamentation region, number of filaments, their distribution along the laser beam axis, and length of filaments on the pulse power. It is shown that with increasing radiation power, the number of filaments in the multi-filamentation region decreases, whereas the filament diameter has a quasiconstant value for all powers realized in the experiments. It is shown that as a certain power of the laser pulse with Gauss energy density distribution is reached, the filamentation region acquires the shape of a hollow cone with apex directed toward the radiation source

Acoustic signals from water aerosol with nanoparticles during filamentation of a femtosecond pulse

The experimentally obtained dependences of acoustic signals on the energy of femtosecond pulses in the filamentation mode, propagating in a liquid-drop aerosol with nanoparticles of various concentrations imitating Aitken nuclei, are presented.
