Abstract
The results of experiments and theoretical modeling of the multiple filamentation of terawatt-power femtosecond laser pulses on a 137m long air path are presented. We use a multielement optical setup consisting of a Galilean telescope and a deformable bimorph mirror, which allows construction for the desired pulse wavefront at the optical path entrance. By introducing controlled aberrations of the pulse phase profile, we demonstrate the wide-ranging manipulations on the position and spatial structure of the filamentation region. For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the stable wide-aperture (5cm in diameter) ring-shaped spatial lattice of high-intense light channels is experimentally realized, which can persist over hundreds of meters in air.
