Abstract

A number of studies have observed the presence of ultraviolet (UV) filaments in air. The general perception is that, above a critical power, the beam focuses because nonlinear self-lensing overcomes diffraction. Self-focusing proceeds until an opposing higher order nonlinearity forms a stable balance. This article discusses the exploration of UV filaments with the use of a Ti:Sapphire/excimer system capable of 50 mJ in 1.1 ps at 248 nm.
