Polarization dynamics of femtosecond pulses propagating in air

arXiv:physics/0101073 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.64.046607

Abstract

Polarization dynamics of femtosecond light pulses propagating in air is studied by computer simulation. A rich variety of dynamics is found that depends on the initial polarization state and power of the pulse. Effects of polarization on the plasma and supercontinuum generation are also discussed.
