Abstract
We show, with a single-mode -switched laser and a single-mode mode-locked laser, that the observed small-scale filaments are actually the tracks of moving foci, but under suitable conditions, light can be trapped over an appreciable distance in these tracks. The results are in rough agreement with theoretical prediction.
