Long range robust multi-terawatt MWIR and LWIR atmospheric light bullets

Long range robust multi-terawatt MWIR and LWIR atmospheric light bullets

There is a strong push worldwide to develop multi-Joule femtosecond duration laser pulses at wavelengths around 3.5-4 and 9-11 mu m within important atmospheric transmission windows. We have shown that pulses with a 4 mu m central wavelength are capable of delivering multi-TW powers at km range. Thi...
