Abstract
The results of experimental studies of femtosecond laser pulse filamentation in water are presented. The dependencies of filament number, laser radiation spectrum width, distance of nonlinear focusing, diameter of filamentation zone on laser pulse power are measured. A part of the scale of relative power is marked out; filament number increases dramatically after passing it.
