Abstract
Self-compression of high-intensity femtosecond pulses has been observed in a number of atomic and molecular gases and solid bulk material. The evoluti on of the femtosecond pulse parameters during the self-compression has been studied under a variety of experimental conditions. Generation of spatiote mporal solitons has been achieved by the combined action of self-compressio n and self-focusing.
