Geints Yu.E., Zemlyanov A.A. Filamentation of an ultrashort laser pulse train in air. // Optika Atmosfery i Okeana. 2017. V. 30. No. 12. P. 1001-1007 [in Russian].
The results of numerical simulation of self-action in air of a sequence of ultrashort laser pulses with a carrier in the near and mid-IR regions are presented. We show that the use of a 10.6-mm pulse train allows appreciable elongation of the plasma channel generated during pulse filamentation and enhancement of its spatial connectivity. The filamentation of a submicron pulse train does not visibly change the filamentation region characteristics.
