Popis: We analyze numerically the femtosecond filamentation of a vortex beam with the topological charge m = 1 at wavelength λ0 = 1800 nm in fused silica under anomalous group velocity dispersion conditions. We show that, as a pulse with a fivefold excess of its power over the critical power propagates through the medium, a multifocus ring structure of radiation with a peak intensity of higher than 1013 W/cm2 and surface energy density of about 0.2 J/cm2 is formed. The self-action of the optical vortex is accompanied by the transformation of the spectral energy mainly into the Stokes region. A comparison is made with the case of a normal dispersion of the group velocity upon the self-action of a vortex beam at the wavelength of λ0 = 400 nm.
