Experimental study of the filamentation phenomenon and measurement of filaments parameters

The article experimentally investigated the phenomenon of filamentation in the propagation of femtosecond laser radiation in transparent solid media. The experimental scheme for measuring the parameters of filaments using spherical and cylindrical optics was developed and assembled. A series of experiments on the spatial ordering of filaments was carried out. The sample was structured in the filamentation mode with a predetermined distribution of laser radiation intensity. The spatial redistribution of laser radiation passing through the formed structures in the quartz glass sample is also investigated.
