Abstract 2012 marked the 50th anniversary of the first published prediction of the self-
focusing phenomenon in light beams. The recent revived interest in the subject is due to …

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 …

In the framework of the Laser Lightning Rod project, whose aim is to show that laser-induced
filaments can guide lightning discharges over considerable distances, we study over a …

The interaction between a large number of laser filaments brought together using weak
external focusing leads to the emergence of few filamentary structures reminiscent of …

We study the propagation of light beams through optical media with competing nonlocal
nonlinearities. We demonstrate that the nonlocality of competing focusing and defocusing …

В 2012 г. исполнилось 50 лет со дня первой публикации, в которой было предсказано
явление самофокусировки световых пучков. Возрождение интереса к явлению …

The development of human societies is dependent on the availability of a reliable source of
water. Thus, there has been a continuing interest in means to enhance or at least ensure …

摘要强飞秒激光在空气中传输时, 其传输距离会远远超越衍射极限, 产生高强度光丝和低密度
等离子体, 并伴随超连续白光的辐射, 这为远距离遥感探测大气污染物提供了一种有效的技术 …

The abilities to trigger and guide high-voltage discharge by using single and multiple
filaments (MFs) are experimentally studied. It is shown that the discharge voltage threshold …

We characterized the white-light supercontinuum emission by a sub-petawatt laser system in
the atmosphere via light detection and ranging measurements. As much as 1 J of …
