Controlling TW-laser pulse long-range filamentation in air by a deformable mirror
Abstract:
The results of experiments and theoretical modeling of the multiple filamentation of terawatt-power femtosecond laser pulses on a 137 m long air path are presented. We use a multielement optical setup consisting of a Galilean telescope and a deformable bimorph mirror, which allows construction for the desired pulse wavefront at the optical path entrance. By introducing controlled aberrations of the pulse phase profile, we demonstrate the wide-ranging manipulations on the position and spatial structure of the filamentation region. For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the stable wide-aperture (5 cm in diameter) ring-shaped spatial lattice of high-intense light channels is experimentally realized, which can persist over hundreds of meters in air.

Pulse Rate and its Significance
Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls...
