Self-focusing Distance of Very High Power Laser Pulses

We show numerically for continuous-wave beams and experimentally for femtosecond pulses propagating in air, that the collapse distance of intense laser beams in a bulk Kerr medium scales as 1/P;1/2 for input powers P that are moderately above the critical power for self focusing, but that at higher...
