摘要：
Non linear propagation-of ultra short pulses in air is studied. By preparing an initial field distribution by an amplitude mask we can obtain a Townes soliton[1] ( self similar channel of coherent radiation) in air. Experimental observation can be described accurately by the numerical integration of the Non Linear Schroedinger Equation (NLSE) and allow us to explain the origin of the remarkable stability of this soliton as a balance between diffraction and Kerr effect. We further explore on the role of coherence by revisiting the two slit Young's experiment but now in the non linear regime.
