Re:Pulsed terawatt lasers have surprising effects when shone...

That is, hiking the peak power of the laser pulses that are applied increases the number of filaments that result without notably influencing the individual intensity or the energy each filament carries.
So these filaments are basically quantized particles?
...and their pulse length of 70 femtoseconds would be about 0.02 mm, or not too far off how wide the filaments are. I guess the proportions would be similar to a pair of saucers with the rims stuck together.
