Abstract

The propagation in air of intense short laser pulse with a phase singularity is considered. Such a pulse with above critical power can propagate as a vortex soliton in a self-created plasma channel resisting to symmetry-breaking perturbations. A singular Gaussian beam either filaments in a controlled way or evolves towards vortex soliton depending of its power and initial distance from equilibrium.
