Time shaping of self-guided femtosecond pulses in transparent solids

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Compression of femtosecond pulses to few optical-cycles duration by coupling with an electron plasma in solids is shown. Multiphoton-absorption, self-steepening and space-time focusing induce dissipation and shock structures which can, however, sustain a self-guided propagation.
