Amplification of intense light fields by nearly free electrons
Mary Matthews, Felipe Morales, Alexander Patas +10
Light can be used to modify and control properties of media, as in the case of electromagnetically induced transparency or, more recently, for the generation of slow light or brigh…
Free space laser telecommunication through fog
Guillaume Schimmel, Thomas Produit, Denis Mongin +2
Atmospheric clearness is a key issue for free space optical communications (FSO). We present the first active method to achieve FSO through clouds and fog, using ultrashort high in…
Modifications of filament spectra by shaped octave-spanning laser pulses
Alexander Patas, Mary Matthews, Sylvain Hermelin +4
In this paper we examine the spectral changes in a white light laser filament due to different pulse shapes generated by a pulse shaping setup. We particularly explore how the prop…
Maximizing energy deposition by shaping few-cycle laser pulses
Julien Gateau, Alexander Patas, Mary Matthews +4
We experimentally investigate the impact of pulse shape on the dynamics of laser-generated plasma in rare gases. Fast-rising triangular pulses with a slower decay lead to early ion…
Energy conservation in self-phase modulation
Pierre Béjot, Jérôme Kasparian
Spectral broadening of ultrashort laser pulses is simultaneously described by either self-phase modulation (SPM) or four-wave mixing (FWM). The latter implies the instantaneous con…
Viscous damping of gravity-capillary waves: Dispersion relations and nonlinear corrections
Andrea Armaroli, Debbie Eeltink, Maura Brunetti +1
We discuss the impact of viscosity on nonlinear propagation of surface waves at the interface of air and a fluid of large depth. After a survey of the available approximations of t…
