Long-wave Infrared Megafilaments in Air

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate self-channeling of a terawatt picosecond CO2 laser beam in air. A single centimeter-diameter megafilament guiding multi-Joule pulse over ~35m is observed. This self-guiding is described by a novel nonlinear propagation and ionization model.
