    Figures & Tables(6)
    Diagram of experimental optical path. Illustration is typical pre-ablation pinhole
    Relationship between ablated pinhole diameter and number of incident laser shots
    Measured laser fluence as a function of input laser energy at pulse duration of 30 fs (without chirp)
    Measured clamping intensity versus pulse duration at filaments
    Variation in filament intensity (E2) with initial chirp number (i.e. pulse duration) of incident laser
