This book is focused on the nonlinear theoretical and mathematical
problems associated with ultrafast intense laser pulse propagation
in gases and in particular, in air. With the aim of understanding
the physics of filamentation in gases, solids, the atmosphere, and
even biological tissue, specialists in nonlinear optics and
filamentation from both physics and mathematics attempt to
rigorously derive and analyze relevant non-perturbative models.
Modern laser technology allows the generation of ultrafast (few
cycle) laser pulses, with intensities exceeding the internal
electric field in atoms and molecules (E=5x109 V/cm or intensity I
= 3.5 x 1016 Watts/cm2 ). The interaction of such pulses with atoms
and molecules leads to new, highly nonlinear nonperturbative
regimes, where new physical phenomena, such as High Harmonic
Generation (HHG), occur, and from which the shortest (attosecond -
the natural time scale of the electron) pulses have been created.
One of the major experimental discoveries in this nonlinear
nonperturbative regime, Laser Pulse Filamentation, was observed by
Mourou and Braun in 1995, as the propagation of pulses over large
distances with narrow and intense cones. This observation has led
to intensive investigation in physics and applied mathematics of
new effects such as self-transformation of these pulses into white
light, intensity clamping, and multiple filamentation, as well as
to potential applications to wave guide writing, atmospheric remote
sensing, lightning guiding, and military long-range weapons. The
increasing power of high performance computers and the mathematical
modelling and simulation of photonic systems has enabled many new
areas of research. With contributions by theorists and
mathematicians, supplemented by active experimentalists who are
experts in the field of nonlinear laser molecule interaction and
propagation, Laser Filamentation sheds new light on scientific and
industrial applications of modern lasers.
