Popis: We report on a new experimental technique aimed to investigate femtosecond filamentation process in transparent condensed dielectrics. The proposed method is based on a highly resolved shadow photography and wideband (about 100MHz) photoacoustic imaging. We demonstrate, that combination of these techniques allows conducting comprehensive filament investigation by retrieving the value of the energy deposition into a medium, plasma electron density and the size of the filament formation region. Moreover, applying these techniques we studied the dependence of filament properties on a filamentation regime.
