An unforeseen discovery in 1992, lasing without maintaining the medium excited into a population inversion, was discovered in sodium gas in and again in 1995 each in sodium and rubidium gas by various international teams.
Later, in 1994, it was discovered by Mourou and his team at University of Michigan that the balance between the self-focusing refraction (see Kerr effect) and self-attenuating diffraction by ionization and rarefaction of a laser beam of terawatt intensities in the atmosphere creates "filaments" which act as waveguides for the beam thus preventing divergence.
