Pulse energy is the most critical parameter. Nanoparticle generation depends linearly on energy beyond the filamentation threshold. Shorter pulses are more efficient than longer ones with saturation at ∼1.5 ps. Multifilamenting beams appear more efficient than strongly focused ones in triggering the condensation and growth of submicronic particles, while polarization has a negligible influence on the process. The data suggest that the initiation of laser-assisted condensation relies on the photodissociation of the air molecules rather than on their photoionization.}, language = {en} } @article{PetrarcaHeninStelmaszczyketal.2011, author = {Petrarca, M. and Henin, S. and Stelmaszczyk, K. and Bock, S. and Kraft, S. and Schramm, U. and Vaneph, C. and Vogel, A. and Kasparian, J. and Sauerbrey, R. and Weber, Konradin and W{\"o}ste, L. and Wolf, J.-P.}, title = {Multijoule scaling of laser-induced condensation in air}, series = {Applied Physics Letters}, volume = {99}, journal = {Applied Physics Letters}, number = {14}, publisher = {AIP Publishing}, issn = {0003-6951}, doi = {10.1063/1.3646397}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Using 100 TW laser pulses, we demonstrate that laser-induced nanometric particle generation in air increases much faster than the beam-averaged incident intensity. This increase is due to a contribution from the photon bath, which adds up with the previously identified one from the filaments and becomes dominant above 550 GW/cm2. It appears related to ozone formation via multiphoton dissociation of the oxygen molecules and demonstrates the critical need for further increasing the laser energy in view of macroscopic effects in laser-induced condensation.}, language = {en} } @article{HeninStelmaszczykPetrarcaetal.2013, author = {Henin, S. and Stelmaszczyk, K. and Petrarca, M. and Rohwetter, P. and Hao, Z.
