Abstract
Multiple filaments surrounded by a large area of energy reservoir have been generated by a free propagating intense femtosecond laser pulse in air. The effects of the energy reservoir on the filament core have been investigated by inserting a diaphragm in a selected single filament path to block the energy of the reservoir. The evolution of filamentation has been studied experimentally and numerically as a function of diaphragm size. Both experimental and numerical results show that for millimeter size filaments with hundreds of meters distance, the energy reservoir can be extended to about
