Optical guiding in 50-meter-scale air waveguides
A. Goffin, I. Larkin, A. Tartaro +1
The distant projection of high peak and average power laser beams in the atmosphere is a longstanding goal with a wide range of applications. Our early proof-of-principle experimen…
Atmospheric aerosol clearing by femtosecond filaments
A. Goffin, J. Griff-McMahon, I. Larkin +1
Atmospheric aerosols, such as water droplets in fog, interfere with laser propagation through scattering and absorption. Femtosecond optical filaments have been shown to clear fogg…
Air hydrodynamics of the ultrafast laser-triggered spark gap
E. W. Rosenthal, I. Larkin, A. Goffin +4
We present space and time resolved measurements of the air hydrodynamics induced by ultrafast laser pulse excitation of the air gap between two electrodes at high potential differe…
Molecular Quantum Wakes for Clearing Fog
Malte C. Schroeder, Ilia Larkin, Thomas Produit +3
High intensity laser filamentation in air has recently demonstrated that, through plasma generation and its associated shockwave, fog can be cleared around the beam, leaving an opt…
Full path single-shot imaging of femtosecond pulse collapse in air turbulence
I. Larkin, J. Griff-McMahon, A. Schweinsberg +3
In a single shot, we measure the full propagation path, including the evolution to pulse collapse, of a high power femtosecond laser pulse propagating in air. This technique enable…
Spatio-temporal optical vortices
N. Jhajj, I. Larkin, E. W. Rosenthal +3
We present the first experimental evidence, supported by theory and simulation, of spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs). Quantized STOVs are a fundamental element of the nonline…
