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 …

Femtosecond laser filamentation is a unique nonlinear optical phenomenon when high-
power ultrafast laser propagation in all transparent optical media. During filamentation in the …

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 …

Recent studies have demonstrated that femtosecond laser pulses have high potential in
application to environmental science. Because of the properties of ultrafast, broadband and …

Powerful femtosecond laser pulses propagating in transparent materials result in the
formation of self-guided structures called filaments. Such filamentation in air can be …

Filamentation of ultra-short TW-class lasers recently opened new perspectives in
atmospheric research. Laser filaments are self-sustained light structures of 0.1–1 mm in …

All matters in the path of filaments induced by an intense femtosecond laser pulse
propagating in air could be fragmented and result in the emission of characteristic …

Femtosecond laser filamentation propagating tens of meters to several kilometers with high
intensity in the atmosphere has been demonstrated as a powerful tool for remote sensing. In …

Molecular N 2 fluorescence excited by laser filaments formed from laser pulses at 400 and
800 nm propagating in air is investigated. A comparison showed that, when excited with 400 …

We experimentally investigated the dynamic behavior of remote terahertz (THz) generation
from two-color femtosecond laser-induced filamentation in air. A record-high THz pulse …
