Self-focusing of femtosecond diffraction-resistant vortex beams in water.
We report experiments on self-focusing of femtosecond diffraction-resistant vortex beams in water. These beams are higher-order Bessel beams with weak azimuthal modulation of the transverse intensity patterns. The modulation overrides the self-focusing dynamics and results in the formation of regular bottlelike filament distributions. The peak-power thresholds for filamentation, at a particular...
متن کاملSelf-focusing of ultraintense femtosecond optical vortices in air.
Our experiments show that the critical power for self-focusing collapse of femtosecond vortex beams in air is significantly higher than that of a flattop beam and grows approximately linearly with the vortex order. With less than 10% of initial transverse intensity modulation of the beam profiles, the dominant mode of self-focusing collapse is the azimuthal breakup of the vortex rings into indi...
متن کاملSelf-focusing of femtosecond surface plasmon polaritons.
We study the propagation of femtosecond pulses in nonlinear metal-dielectric plasmonic waveguiding structures by employing the finite-difference time-domain numerical method. Self-focusing of plasmon pulses is observed for defocusing Kerr-like nonlinearity of the dielectric medium due to normal dispersion. We compare the nonlinear propagation of plasmon pulses along a single metal-dielectric in...
متن کاملFocusing of a femtosecond vortex light pulse through a high numerical aperture objective.
We investigate the focusing properties of a femtosecond vortex light pulse focused by a high numerical aperture objective. By using the Richards-Wolf vectorial diffraction method, the intensity distribution, the velocity variation and the orbital angular momentum near the focus are studied in great detail. We have discovered that the femtosecond vortex light pulse can travel at various speeds, ...
متن کاملSelf-Focusing Dynamics of Coupled Optical Beams
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the mutual collapse dynamics of two spatially separated optical beams in a Kerr medium. Depending on the initial power, beam separation, and the relative phase, we observe repulsion or attraction, which in the latter case reveals a sharp transition to a single collapsing beam. This transition to fusion of the beams is accompanied by an increase in...
