The generation of filaments with ultrashort laser pulses is based on the sustained balance between self-focusing (Kerr effect) and ionization. When the peak power of the laser pulse is close to a critical self-focusing power value (Pcr) a single filament develops. If the beam power exceeds about more than 10 times Pcr, modulation instability can cause several co-propagating filaments formed from a...
It is shown that diffractive lenses can tune the spectrum of femtosecond pulses after nonlinear optical processes. We focus on spectra of second-order pulses generated in birefringent crystals and supercontinuum in sapphire crystals. The tunability is achieved by changing the relative distance between the nonlinear crystal and the diffractive lens.
We make a review of our main results in the field of femtosecond pulses diffracted by diffractive optical elements (DOEs). These results show how amplitude and/or phase DOEs can be used to change the spectral and temporal characteristics of the diffracted pulses. We experimentally demonstrate that shaped pulses diffracted by DOEs are useful in nonlinear optics or chemical applications.
