A laser of sufficient intensity traveling through air will - by
itself - engineer a narrow channel over which light will propagate
for tens or even hundreds of meters. Such filaments of laser light
were first created at the end of the twentieth century, and
investigators are now beginning to explore new applications for
them. Light Filaments: Structures, challenges and applications
brings together exciting results from this area of research. With
the development of high repetition rate sources, new aspects of
waveguiding are emerging based on the hydrodynamic perturbation
created by each filamenting pulse. This book is organized from
general overviews to more specialized topics and is aimed at those
involved in lasers and other optical wave propagation systems. The
goal of this book is to cover the multiple aspects of light
filamentation from strong field ionization and molecular properties
to laser development and beam shaping, and the wide range of
radiation associated with it from THz, lasing in air to
supercontinuum generation. The book starts with tutorial chapters
about the science of filamentation, followed by in depth chapters
on the latest research, technologies and applications in
atmospheric studies, guiding waves, laser induced discharge and
lightning. This book is the result of a Multidisciplinary
University Research Initiatives (MURI) Program on light filaments
from the USA Army Research Office.
