Abstract:

A filamenting femtosecond laser pulse self-stabilizes the intensity fluctuation inside the filament core due to intensity clamping and generates an excellent spatial beam quality inside the core due to self-spatial filtering. The high quality of the core can be sampled by nonlinear processes. A few experimental examples are shown: self-phase modulation, four-wave mixing, third-harmonic generation and waveguide writing in glass.
