Abstract

In this paper we give an overview of the propagation of ultra-intense laser pulses. Due to the intrinsic nonlinearity present even in air, these pulses will reshape, collapse and eventually form long-range filaments that have some very peculiar and unique properties that can be harnessed for applications such as long-distance energy transfer or electrical discharge control.
