Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 013901 (2002) [4 pages]Multiple Filamentation of Circularly Polarized BeamsReceived 3 February 2002; published 17 June 2002 We derive a new system of equations that describes the propagation of circularly polarized laser beams in a Kerr medium. Analysis and simulations of this system show that multiple filamentation is suppressed for circularly polarized beams. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
