Abstract

Understanding the propagation of high-power femtosecond laser pulses in optically transparent solids is important for a wide range of intense-field interactions including plasma formation, laser damage, and frequency conversion. Self-focusing is perhaps the most fundamental nonlinear optical process that occurs when a high power pulse propagates through a material.
