Electrostrictive Laser Beam Trapping.

Abstract

The report summarizes the results of the electrostrictive laser beam trapping contract. The abstracts of nine research articles are listed, as well as unpublished talks and reports. In addition, the report contains an analysis of thermal self-focusing. The thermal self-focusing power threshold is derived, along with equations for making computer movies of thermal self-focusing.
