Abstract :
We experimentally demonstrate the observation of the spectral modulations due to spectral correlation of the white-light continuum generated from the collinear filaments using focused femtosecond laser pulses in BK7. These spectral modulations are used to estimate the temporal separation of the refocused collinear filaments as a function of the input laser power.
