Abstract

Experiments and calculations indicate that the threshold pressure in spatial filters for distortion of a transmitted pulse scales approximately as I^-0.2 and (F#)² over the intensity range from 10¹⁴ to 2 X 10¹⁵ W/cm². We also demonstrated an interferometric diagnostic that will be used to measure the scaling relationships governing pinhole closure in spatial filters.
