Self-Channeling of High-Power Long-Wave Infrared Pulses in Atomic Gases

We simulate and elucidate the self-channeling of high-power 10 mu m infrared pulses in atomic gases. The major new result is that the peak intensity can remain remarkably stable over many Rayleigh ranges. This arises from the balance between the self-focusing, diffraction, and defocusing caused by t...
