  • Abstract
    Observations of the onset of small scale self-focusing on the NRL laser system are compared with present theories. Qualitative agreement is found between theory and experiment and it is also found that it is possible to derive a “safe” value for growth for small scale self-focusing. The criteria derived from self-focusing considerations alter the systems considerations for maximum output and/or economy from those derived if self-focusing is not considered.
