Light filaments Generated by Terawatt-Laser Pulses - Conductivity and LIDAR

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

When intense TW-fs-laser pulses propagate in the atmosphere, nonlinear selffocusing effects cause the intense laser beams to disintegrate into several filaments. Selffocusing ceases when an equilibrium is achieved between diffraction, selffocusing and ionization [1,2]
