Backward air lasing actions induced by femtosecond laser filamentation: influence of population inversion lifetime
Hongqiang Xie, Guihua Li, Wei chu +5
We experimentally investigate generation of backward 357 nm N2 laser in a gas mixture of N2/Ar using 800-nm femtosecond laser pulses, and examine the involved gain dynamics based o…
Interferometric characterization of pulse front tilt of spatiotemporally focused femtosecond laser pulses for three-dimensional micromachining application

Jielei Ni, Wei Chu, Haisu Zhang +8
We report on experimental realization of impulsive rotational Raman scattering from neutral nitrogen molecules in a femtosecond laser filament using an intense self-induced white-l…
Real-time observation of dynamics in rotational molecular wave packets by use of "air laser" spectroscopy
Bin Zeng, Wei Chu, Guihua Li +6
Molecular rotational spectroscopy based on strong-field-ionization-induced nitrogen laser is employed to investigate the time evolution of the rotational wave packet composed by a…

Guihua Li, Jielei Ni, Hongqiang Xie +9
We demonstrate unexpectedly strong second harmonic generation (SHG) in Argon gas by use of spatiotemporally focused (SF) femtosecond laser pulses. The resulting SHG by the SF schem…
Signature of superradiance from a nitrogen gas plasma channel produced by strong field ionization
Guihua Li, Chenrui Jing, Bin Zeng +8
Recently, Yao et al. demonstrated the creation of coherent emissions in nitrogen gas with two-color (800 nm + 400 nm) ultrafast laser pulses [New J. Phys. 15, 023046 (2013)]. Based…
Self-induced white-light seeding laser in a femtosecond laser filament
Wei Chu, Guihua Li, Hongqiang Xie +8
We report, for what we believe to be the first time, on the generation of remote self-seeding laser amplification by using only one 800 nm Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser pulse. The…
