摘要
We observe the formation of optical precursors while propagating 540 fs pulses through 700 mm of deionized water. The launched pulses were strongly chirped to give them a bandwidth of approximately 60 nm to more readily excite the precursors. The precursors attenuated nonexponentially with distance.
