On the Role of Linear Processes in the Development and Evolution of Filaments in Air
It is well known that ultrashort, high intensity pulses with peak powers exceedinga certain critical value (Pcr) undergo self-focusingleading to collapse and filamentation. During the initial stagesof propagation at low intensities the beamdynamics are dominated by diffraction and dispersion. Duri...
