Propagation of high-power femtosecond laser pulses in transparent materials can lead to filamentation. Filamentation occurs due to the Kerr-focusing of the laser pulses in nonlinear medium. Plasma defocusing effect prevent the colapse of the laser pulse and the balance between Kerr nonlinearity and plasma defocusing leads to filamentation. For the first time, we observed multiple filamentation...
