The state of the art of investigations on filamentation of a high-power femtosecond laser
radiation in transparent media is reviewed. The physical picture of this phenomenon is …

This book attempts to give a discussion of the physics and current and potential applications
of the self-focusing of an intense femtosecond laser pulse in a transparent medium …

This paper introduces and discusses the main aspects of ultrashort laser pulse filamentation
in various transparent media such as air (gases), transparent solids and liquids. The …

During the propagation of intense femtosecond laser pulses in a transparent medium, pulse
shortening can occur without external guiding. Experimental evidence for this effect and a …

A model for the propagation of femtosecond laser pulses in transparent media and the
formation of light bullets is proposed. This model enable us to generalize Marburger's …

When a powerful femtosecond laser pulse propagates in an optical medium, self-focusing
occurs. Normally, it is the most powerful part (slice) of the pulse that self-focuses first during …

We demonstrated how the moving focus model developed for condensed media should be
modified for the explanation of experiments on filamentation of high-power femtosecond …

A change in the spectrum and the energy distribution of the light field of a high-power
femtosecond laser pulse is studied numerically in a broad range of its spatial scales. It is …

We propose a new method for controlling randomly generated multiple filaments during the
propagation of femtosecond laser pulses in optical media. The method is based on …

This is a review of some recent development in femtosecond filamentation science with
emphasis on our collective work. Previously reviewed work in the field will not be discussed …
