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 …

We report a comprehensive investigation of femtosecond continuum generation in single
crystals of several common laser host materials. The absolute spectral energy density, pulse …

Ultrabroadband supercontinuum light expanding from ultraviolet to 6.28 μ m is generated in
a centimeter-long fluoride fiber pumped by a 1450 nm femtosecond laser. The spectral …

We solve a system of generalized nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equations to study the nonlinear
dynamics of ultrashort pulse propagation in multimode fibers. Due to pulse walk-off …

We present a new approach to the design of optical microstructured fibers that have group
velocity dispersion (GVD) and effective nonlinear coefficient (γ) tailored for supercontinuum …

We characterized the angular distribution of the supercontinuum emission from multiple
infrared laser filaments propagating in air over long distances, from the infrared (1080 nm) to …

This book is the first to describe novel measurement techniques of processes during laser-
matter interaction using ultra-fast lasers. Targeted at both engineers and physicists, initial …

We show that photoionization of wide band gap silicate glasses by infrared ultrashort laser
pulses can occur without laser-induced damage. Two glasses are studied, fused silica and a …

Using the optical fibers and ultrashort pulses, we can demonstrate highly functional optical
control. We have succeeded in generation of low-noise, ultraflat, high-quality …

At high enough power, a beam propagating in a positive n 2 material will spontaneously
break up into multiple filaments as a result of a transverse modulational instability. This …
