Description:
Author(s): N. Jhajj, E. W. Rosenthal, R. Birnbaum, J. K. Wahlstrand, and H. M. Milchberg Laser filaments are a promising means of transporting light energy over long distances, but they can only carry an average power of a few watts, thus limiting certain applications. Experiments now overcome this limitation by demonstrating that the thermal wake of a bundle of filaments provides a long-lived air waveguide that can channel laser beams with an extremely high average power.
