Transition of Femtosecond-Filament-Solid Interactions from Single to Multiple Filament Regime

Abstract High-peak-power fs-laser filaments offer unique characteristics attractive to remote sensing via techniques such as remote laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (R-LIBS). The dynamics of several ablation mechanisms following the interaction between a filament and a solid determines the emiss...
