Self-focusing of very high-power pulses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Self-focusing of very high-power pulses reveals new collapsing profiles, which are ring-type or shell-type, in contrast with the peak-type Townes profile. The initial self-focusing dynamics can be predicted using the Nonlinear Geometrical Optics (NGO) method.
