Extreme Nonlinear Optics of High Intensity Laser Pulse Filamentation in Gases
Abstract
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the dynamics and applications of femtosecond filamentation. In spite of over a decade of intense research effort in this field, the tremendous practical potential of laser filaments remains largely unrealized. The detailed understanding of the nonlinear optical processes responsible for the formation and propagation of filaments remains the subject of intense controversy within the research community. Such a proposal will investigate the detailed dynamics of high field interactions of atoms and molecules, for bound and free electrons.
