Filamentation of ultrashort laser pulses in the atmosphere offers unique opportunities for
long-range transmission of high-power laser radiation and standoff detection. With the …

The generation of power-and wavelength-scalable few optical cycle pulses remains one of
the major challenges in modern laser physics. Over the past decade, the development of …

We report an experimental proof and full characterization of laser generation in molecular
nitrogen in an argon-nitrogen gas mixture remotely excited at a distance above 2 m in a …

The Keldysh photoionization theory is a conceptual cornerstone and a universal framework
for the description of a broad class of fundamental effects in light–matter interaction. Here …

Laser-induced filamentation in the mid-infrared gives rise to unique regimes of nonlinear
wave dynamics and reveals in many ways unusual nonlinear-optical properties of materials …

Filamentation-assisted pulse compression in the gas phase is shown to enable the
generation of subterawatt few-cycle pulses in the mid-infrared (mid-IR). With both spatial …

Strongly coupled nonlinear spatiotemporal dynamics of ultrashort mid-infrared pulses
undergoing self-focusing simultaneously with soliton self-compression in an anomalously …

We report the first (to our knowledge) experimental results and numerical simulations on mid-
IR femtosecond pulse filamentation in argon using 0.1 TW peak-power, 80 fs, 3.9 μm pulses …

We observed the filamentation of mid-infrared ultrashort laser pulses (3.9 μm, 80 fs) in
molecular gases. It efficiently generates a broadband supercontinuum over two octaves in …

Nanophotonic structures have shown promising routes to controlling and enhancing
nonlinear optical processes at the nanoscale. However, most nonlinear nanostructures …
