摘要
We present a systematic investigation of the depolarization properties of a supercontinuum accompanied with femtosecond laser filamentation in barium fluoride(BaF2)crystal.It is found that the depolarization of the supercontinuum depends strongly on the crystal orientations with respect to the incident laser polarization.At most crystal orientations,the depolarization of the supercontinuum rises with the increase of the input laser energies and finally saturates.While at 45°,the depolarization of the supercontinuum is not changed and keeps nearly negligible with the increase of the input laser energies.These peculiar depolarization properties of the supercontinuum can be ascribed to the orientation dependence of the cross-polarized wave(XPW)generation and ionization-induced plasma scattering in the BaF2 crystal.
