In summary, Airy and Bessel beams can extend the range over which ultrafast laser filaments can deliver high intensities, ablate the target and produce plasma emission. The self-bending of Airy beams increases their versatility in applications, whereas the Laguerre-Gaussian (vortex) beams have been argued to be resistant to the effects of turbulence [9]. Future work will explore correlation between axial intensity distribution along the filament and the ablation-plasma thermodynamic parameters.
