Abstract
Polarization dynamics of femtosecond light pulses propagating in air is stu died by computer simulation. A rich variety of dynamics is found that depen ds on the initial polarization state and power of the pulse. Effects of pol arization on the plasma and supercontinuum generation are also discussed.
