Nonlinear propagation of subpicosecond ultraviolet laser pulses in air

Opt Lett. 2000 Sep 1;25(17):1270-2. doi: 10.1364/ol.25.001270.

Abstract

We report filamentation of subpicosecond UV laser pulses with only millijoule energy in atmosphere. The results are in good agreement with a numerical simulation using a quasi-three-dimensional propagation code.
