Self-focusing does not occur for few-cycle pulses
2018
Journal of Physics, Conference Series
Preserved Fulltext
A surprise of nonlinear optics of few-cycle waves, such as the disappearance of the phenomenon of high-power radiation self-focusing, is discussed. An expression is derived and analyzed for the conditions under which the concept of a critical power for self-focusing loses its physical meaning due to the dominance of the process of dispersion over diffraction.
