Abstract

Self-focusing and multiple lamentation of highly elliptic laser beams is studied experimentally in condensed media with Kerr nonlinearity (water and fused silica). We show that highly elliptic laser beam initially breaks up into one-dimensional array of laments, producing deterministic and periodic patterns. At higher pump energies, the interplay between the neighbouring laments gives rise to formation of complex two-dimensional spatial structures.
