Simulations are performed for the filamentation of laser pulses with different modulation degrees and initial geometric focusings. The transverse waist of the laser beam is 5 mm. The behavior of the filament is strongly affected by the initial non-uniformity of the laser pulse envelope for a short initial focal length (f = 1 m). In this case, the filament and plasma channel can survive for a longer distance with a small initial amplitude perturbation. For a laser pulse focused by a lens with a long focal length (f = 4 m), decrease in the initial perturbation does not contribute to the length of the filament and the plasma channel.展开更多

It was found that the length of the plasma channel was different from that of the laser filament. This phenomenon was commensurate with a special self-guide mechanism without ionization. Through increase of the laser energy the plasma channel could be prolonged and the resistance could be reduced. To get even lower resistance, more effective control would be needed over the multi-filament. The lifetime of the plasma channel was increased by a factor of 4.5 by pulse sequences, which were generated by detuning the regenerative amplifier in the chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser system.展开更多

At the particular spatial position, modulation growth takes place from the experimental result. The process of modulation growth with different pulsed chirp is analyzed. It is found that with the pulsed chirp in-creasing (equal to the pulse width increasing), modulation growth of chirped opti-cal pulses is delayed and the average input power also increases. The simulation results are in agreement with the experimental results.展开更多

The simulation results show that the effects of Rayleigh scattering on the propagation of UV laser filaments may not be ignored. These influences are slightly dependent on the laser wavelength. We also compare the UV filament propagations at different input powers in the presence and the absence of the Rayleigh scattering and discuss the mechanisms of power loss and beam defocusing. In the absence of Rayleigh scattering, the filament propagation is determined by the oscillating behaviour of the beam size. In the presence of the scattering, the propagation lengths of filament are close to each other at different initial powers and determined by the Rayleigh scattering.展开更多
