Abstract It was shown experimentally that for a 65-fs 17-J pulse, the effect of filamentation instability, also known as small-scale self-focusing, is much weaker than predicted by stationary and nonstationary theoretical models high B-integral values. Although this discrepancy has been left unexplained at moment, in practice no signs may allow breakthrough nonlinear pulse post-compression laser energy.
