Abstract

Visualization of the energy density flux gives a unique insight into the propagation properties of complex ultrashort pulses. This analysis, formerly relegated to numerical investigations, is here shown to be an invaluable experimental diagnostic tool. By retrieving the spatio-temporal amplitude and phase we experimentally obtain the energy density flux within complex ultrashort pulses generated by filamentation in a nonlinear Kerr medium.

Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. Diagram of the Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm applied to the data in order to retrieve the pulse spatiotemporal amplitude and phase profile. An initial guess for the phase profile is superimposed on the measured 3D intensity profile. The spatiotemporal far-field spectrum is obtained by a Fourier transform whose amplitude is substituted with the measured one. An inverse Fourier transform gives a complex valued 3D near field profile in which the amplitude is replaced by the measurement. This process is iterated until convergence is obtained. The graph shows the the mean quadratic deviation between the retrieved and measured near-field intensity profiles over 400 steps.

Fig. 3.
Fig. 3. Experimentally retrieved energy density flux profiles for an 800 nm, 160 fs laser pulse with a power 11 times the critical power for self-focusing in water. Blue indicates a negative (opposite to the axis direction), Red indicates a positive (same as the axis direction) flux. (a), (c), (e) and (g) show the normalized r-t distribution of transverse flux for the input focused pulse, for the pulse after 0 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm and 40 mm of nonlinear propagation in water, respectively. (b), (d), (f) and (h), for the same conditions, show the longitudinal fluxes. The grey contour plots show the pulse space-time intensity profile over 2 decades (0.4 decade spacing between each contour line). In (e), “L”, “T” and “W” indicate the leading peak, the trailing peak and the central wings, respectively.

Fig. 4. Numerically simulated laser filament pulse and transverse flux after 40 mm of water. The input power and focusing conditions are chosen to match the experiment. The grey contour plots show the pulse space-time intensity profile over 4 decades (0.8 decade spacing between each contour line). “L”, “T” and “W” indicate the leading peak, the trailing peak and the central wings, respectively. The main experimental features are reproduced, in particular the marked X-shaped flux associated to the main leading intensity peak.
