This thesis provides deep insights into currently controversial
questions in laser filamentation, a highly complex phenomenon
involving nonlinear optical effects and plasma physics. First,
based on the concrete picture of a femtosecond laser beam which
self-pinches its radial intensity distribution, the thesis delivers
a novel explanation for the remarkable and previously unexplained
phenomenon of pulse self-compression in filaments. Moreover, the
work addresses the impact of a non-adiabatic change of both
nonlinearity and dispersion on such an intense femtosecond pulse
transiting from a gaseous dielectric material to a solid one.
Finally, and probably most importantly, the author presents a
simple and highly practical theoretical approach for quantitatively
estimating the influence of higher-order nonlinear optical effects
in optics. These results shed new light on recent experimental
observations, which are still hotly debated and may completely
change our understanding of filamentation, causing a paradigm
change concerning the role of higher-order nonlinearities in
optics.
