Quasi-steady-state air waveguide

Optics 2023-02-08 v1

Abstract

We report the first generation of quasi-steady-state air waveguides capable of guiding high average power laser beams. The guides are produced by high-repetition rate patterned filamentation of femtosecond laser pulses. We demonstrate near-continuous guiding of a CW probe beam with significantly higher efficiency than transient guides at lower repetition rates.
