3 Fundamentals and Applications of Plasma Filaments Contents Formation of white light filaments Properties and applications Remote sensing of solid targets Single and multiple filaments White light analysis of the atmosphere Filament-induced water condensation Filament-based discharge control Perspectives of lightning protection
4 Let s propagate a millijoule femtosecond laser pulse in air or gas! An amazing, white-light emitting filament emerges! First time observed in thelab by: A.Braun, G.Korn, G.Mourou et al. Opt. Lett., 20(1995),73
5 How is the white light formed? E(t) Kerr: n = n 0 + n 2 I(x,t) E(t) ω Self-Phase Modulation ( ) ω n ω c 2 0 t = 0 z di ( t) dt
6 White-Light Continuum J.Kasparian et al., Opt. Lett. 25, 1397 (2000)
7 What is the filament formation mechanism? Kerr Lens n = n 0 + n 2 I(r) n 2 = cm 2 /W in air Plasma Lens n = ρ ( I ) ρ ρ c = cm -3 in air c radius wave front radius wave front Propagation Propagation Plasma Kerr Lens
8 Theoretical calculation Properties Φ = 100 µm L > 300 m n <> 10-5 E = 1-5 mj I = W/cm 2 ρ = cm -3 ρ n larger than thermal turbuleces -> almost no influence on propagation!
9 Properties of these filaments When 800nm with4mj pulsesof60fs: d = 100 µm L ~ 100 m, I = W/cm 2, ρ = cm -3
10 and they are electrically conductive!
11 Testing the EURO:
12 An emerging industrial application:* Filament 6m distance * Patent No.:US 8,097,830 B2
13 Filament Cut
14 An emerging medical application: Bone and Filament 2m distance
15 Filament- induced breakdown spectroscopy (FIBS) on different metals
16 FIBS on different Minerals Future Objects - mineral analysis - industrial deposits - radioactive fallouts - ground humidity - plant stress detection But howfarcanwego?
17 Plasma-lines of copper observed at 100 meters distance
18 Optimizing the supercontinuum for remote FIBS (filament induced breakdown spectroscopy) Femtosecond laser Filament Screen Telescope PMT Filter wheel Signal Loop Genetic algorithm
19 First preliminary results Evolution graph
20 Observations suggest: Optimal pulse shape increases Supercontinuum intensity by up to ~20% compared to the optimum linear chirp. and now let us work at higher energies!
21 Mono-filamentation(<5 mj)
22 Multi- filamentation(>5 mj)
23 Autoguided propagation and multiple filamentation focussing Kerr lens de-focussing plasma lens: At higher energies (>5 mj): multiple filamentation
24 And now lets produce extended filament bundles to study the atmosphere Specs of our pump laser: 60fs = 4 Terawatt 400 nm 800 nm Wavelenghth Careful: Since the spectral bandwidth of our filaments is rather broad, this has to be considered, when propagating over long distances!
25 Compensating Group-Velocity Dispersion no GVD compensation GVD fs pulse chirped pulse with GVD compensation GVD anti-chirped (precompensed) pulse fs pulse
26 Principle of the fs - Lidar Ultrashort Laser Timeresolved spectrometer Chirp control Telescope
27 The result: extended bundles of FILAMENTS!
