Popis: The critical power of self-focusing in the air for ultrashort UV laser pulses stretched due to dispersion from 90 up to 730 fs was experimentally measured. It was shown that the pulse duration enhancement due to its propagation in condensed media within above mentioned time-range leads to almost linear decrease of self-focusing critical power. It was also observed that when the pulse peak power exceeds the critical one, the maximum of linear plasma distribution along the UV laser filament does not shifted in the direction opposite to the laser pulse propagation as in the case of IR laser filament, but remains at the geometrical focus.
