Abstract: | The influence of focusing conditions (numerical apertures from 0.004 to 0.06) on absolute energetic characteristics of third harmonic generation (THG) in air was experimentally studied for pumping 1R (744 nm wavelength) femtosecond laser pulses. THG was observed both for sub-critical and super-critical laser pulses in the linear and non-linear propagation modes, respectively. The maximum THG efficiency of 1.6 × 10−3 was obtained in our experiments at the tight focusing conditions and the sub-critical pulse powers. |
