Laser filamentation as a new phase transition universality class
arXiv:1501.01132 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.063903
Abstract
We show that the onset of laser multiple filamentation can be described as a critical phenomenon that we characterize both experimentally and numerically by measuring a set of seven critical exponents. This phase transition deviates from any existing universality class, and offers a unique perspective of conducting two-dimensional experiments of statistical physics at a human scale.
