N2 - The self-channeling of extremely high power laser beams permits the ignition of plasma filaments in dielectrics, such as air and glasses. If no constraints are imposed by the geometry of the material, the plasma appears as a straight bright line.

In the latter case, helical plasma filaments lead to the emission of rainbow spiral beams.
