Abstract:
A nanosecond-long train of picosecond laser pulses theoretically can produce self-focusing and trapping by electrostriction, even though the trapping threshold for a single picosecond pulse is very high. The relative roles of electrostriction and various types of Kerr effect in picosecond pulse train trapping should be assessed. Author
