摘要: Complex dynamics of femtosecond terawatt laser pulses in air is investigated theoretically and numerically by considering both χ(5) susceptibility multiphoton ionization. Our investigation shows that these two high-order nonlinearities, acting as a Hamiltonian perturbation, can destroy homoclinic orbit connection phase trajectory result spatial chaos complex pattern wave field. Due to the chaotic behavior field, filamentation appears when intensity increases close ionization threshold.
