When the laser pulse duration is increased from femtosecond to nanosecond duration, a transition is observed from a filamentary propagation with extended and low energy density deposition to a localized breakdown, related to high energy density deposition. The transition suggests that Kerr selffocusing plays a major role in the beam propagation dynamics. As a result, the shape, the amplitude and the spectrum of the resulting pressure wave present a strong dependence on the laser pulse duration. %G English %2 https://hal-ensta-paris.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03600542/document %2 https://hal-ensta-paris.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03600542/file/oe-30-6-9103.pdf %L hal-03600542 %U https://hal-ensta-paris.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03600542 %~ X %~ ENSTA %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ LMA_UPR7051 %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ X-CPHT %~ X-LOA %~ X-DEP %~ X-DEP-PHYS %~ ENSTA_LOA %~ IP_PARIS %~ IP_PARIS_COPIE
