Observation of multiple pulse-splitting of ultrashort pulses in air
Summary form only given. It has been shown in 3 + 1 dimensional Kerr-nonlinearity self-focusing models, that group velocity dispersion is responsible for the temporal pulse-splitting of ultrashort pulses during propagation. Previous experiments have demonstrated pulse splitting due to the Kerr nonlinearity for short pulse propagation in bulks or gaseous media. However, studies in gaseous media are often in a focused geometry, or use pressurized gaseous media. This experiment elucidates the relationship between pulse splitting and spot-size change and does not use any optic to initiate self-focusing. We find pulse splitting occurs at a distance merely 0.7/spl times/ the diffraction length and occurs before spatial collapse to a filament. In addition, multiple pulse splitting is also observed. Peak fluence information from the beam-profile is monitored, indicating nonlinear loss mechanisms. We believe this is the first data on multiple pulse-splitting events in air.
