Which disruptive outcome occurs when excessively increasing laser pulse durations?

💡 Explanation

Self-focusing causes filamentation because the Kerr effect induces a refractive index gradient, therefore the beam collapses spatially, rather than dispersing, because short pulses limit thermal effects and allow the nonlinearity to dominate.
