Abstract :
The paper presents basic research on the nonlinear dynamics in the vicinity of collapse of ultrashort light pulses propagating in self-focusing Kerr media. The initial stage of spatial self-focusing before collapse is well-understood long ago, and a clear picture of the spatiotemporal dynamics beyond collapse is emerging from recent works.
