Defocusing role in femtosecond filamentation: Higher-order Kerr effect or plasma effect? |
Evolution of the maximum intensity (a) and on-axis electron density (b) at the collapse distance with the pulse duration, as the MPI cross section is σ 8 = 2.88 × 10−99 s−1 · cm16 · W−8; evolution of the maximum intensity (c) and on-axis electron density (d) at the collapse distance with the pulse duration, as the MPI cross section is σ 8 = 2.81 × 10−96 s−1 · cm16 · W−8. |
