“…Some of them include interferometry 9 , 11 , 12 , stark broadening 13 , in-line holography 14 , terahertz spectroscopy 11 , 15 , fluorescence 16 , and microwave diagnostics 10 . These works have mainly focused on the filament spatial 11 – 15 and temporal 9 – 11 , 13 profiles of electron number density. The dependence of electron number density as a function of laser pump energy 11 , 13 , 16 , pulse duration 13 , and focal length 16 has been explored as well.…”
