(a) The dependence of the 400-nm pulse energy on the pump–probe time delay τ. Negative time delay means the 400-nm pulse is in front of the pump pulse. (b) Typical fluorescence spectra of the interaction area with the 400-nm pulse (blue dot line), plasma filament (red dash line), and both the 400-nm pulse and the plasma filament (black solid line). The energy of pump pulse is 2.7 mJ and the time delay τ is 200 fs.
