Description for Nonlinear Optics in the Filamentation Regime
paperback. This book examines controversial questions in laser filamentation, a highly complex phenomenon involving nonlinear optical effects and plasma physics. It presents a powerful new approach to estimating the influence of higher-order nonlinear optical effects. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 144 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHFP; PHJ; TTBL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 8. Weight in Grams: 232.
This thesis provides deep insights into currently controversial questions in laser filamentation, a highly complex phenomenon involving nonlinear optical effects and plasma physics. First, based on the concrete picture of a femtosecond laser beam which self-pinches its radial intensity distribution, the thesis delivers a novel explanation for the remarkable and previously unexplained phenomenon of pulse self-compression in filaments. Moreover, the work addresses the impact of a non-adiabatic change of both nonlinearity and dispersion on such an intense femtosecond pulse transiting from a gaseous dielectric material to a solid one. Finally, and probably most importantly, the author presents a simple and ... Read more
