Extreme Nonlinear Optics of High Intensity Laser Pulse Filamentation in Gases
Abstract
Main 2015-2016 accomplishments; high sensitivity measurements of air absorption of energy from femtosecond filaments. Published; absolute measurements of electronic, vibrational, and rotational nonlinear response in H2 and D2. Published; first measurement of nonlinear index in the mid-IR (low wavelength end). Published; acceleration of electrons to 10 MeV energy using record low laser pulse energies. Published; discovery of spatio-temporal optical vortices. Submitted.
