Propagation of femtosecond terawatt laser pulses in N2 gas including higher-order Kerr effects
Propagation characteristic of femtosecond terawatt laser pulses in N2 gas with higher-order Kerr effect (HOKE) is investigated. Theoretical analysis shows that HOKE acting as Hamiltonian perturbation can destroy the coherent structure of a laser field and result in the appearance of incoherent patte...
