TY  - JOURAB  - We report on the evaluation of the performance of self-guiding over extended distances with $f/20$ and  $f/40$ focussing geometries. Guiding over $39\,\mathrm{mm}$ or more than 100 Rayleigh ranges was observed with the $f/20$ optic at ${n}_{e}=1.5\times {10}^{18}\,{\mathrm{cm}}^{-3}$. Analysis of guiding performance found that the extent of the exiting laser spatial mode closely followed the matched spot size predicted by 3D nonlinear theory. Self-guiding with an $f/40$ optic was also characterised, with guided modes observed for a plasma length of $90\,\mathrm{mm}$ and a plasma density of ${n}_{e}=9.5\times {10}^{17}\,{\mathrm{cm}}^{-3}$. This corresponds to self-guided propagation over 53 Rayleigh ranges and is similar to distances obtained with discharge plasma channel guiding.AU  - Poder,KAU  - Cole,JMAU  - Wood,JCAU  - Lopes,NCAU  - Alatabi,SAU  - Foster,PSAU  - Kamperidis,CAU  - Kononenko,OAU  - Palmer,CAAU  - Rusby,DAU  - Sahai,AAU  - Sarri,GAU  - Symes,DRAU  - Warwick,JRAU  - Mangles,SPDAU  - Najmudin,ZDO  - 1361-6587/aa8f0ePY  - 2017///SN  - 0741-3335TI  - Measurements of self-guiding of ultrashort laser pulses over long distancesT2  - Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionUR  - http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1361-6587/aa8f0eUR  - http://hdl.handle.net/10044/1/56783VL  - 60ER  -
