Generation of extended plasma channels in air using femtosecond Bessel beams.
Extending the longitudinal range of plasma channels created by ultrashort laser pulses in atmosphere is important in practical applications of laser-induced plasma such as remote spectroscopy and lightning control. Weakly focused femtosecond Gaussian beams that are commonly used for generating plasma channels offer only a limited control of filamentation. Increasing the pulse energy in this cas...
متن کاملExtended filamentation with temporally chirped femtosecond Bessel-Gauss beams in air.
We report experimental results on ultrafast filamentation with temporally chirped femtosecond Bessel-Gauss beams. We find that by chirping the pulses, the longitudinal range of the generated plasma channels can be extended relative to filaments generated by fully compressed, transform-limited femtosecond pulses. We find a clear correlation between the extent of filamentation and the intensity o...
متن کاملGeneration of Wavelength-independent Sub-wavelength Bessel Beams using Metasurfaces
Bessel beams are of great interest due to their unique non-diffractive properties. Using a conical prism or an objective paired with an annular aperture are two typical approaches to generating zeroth order Bessel beams. However, the former approach has a limited numerical aperture (NA), and the latter suffers from low efficiency since most of the incident light is blocked by the aperture. Furt...

متن کاملApplications of femtosecond Bessel beams to laser ablation
Nondiffracting Bessel beams have been recently applied to single shot ultrafast laser processing of high aspect ratio nanochannels. We review the principles and benefits of nondiffracting Bessel beams for material processing, and we compare experimental results with numerical simulations. We show how the stationarity of nonlinear propagation of ultrafast laser pulses allows high aspect ratio ma...
