摘要：

The time-resolved spectral distribution of backscattered light from filaments generated by intense ultrafast Ti:sapphire laser pulses propagating in air is studied. Clean fluorescence from N-2 molecules and ions are detected in the backward direction which could be useful in remote sensing application. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
