The development of filamentary structure associated with the self-focusing of ultrashort pulses in the presence of dielectric relaxation is examined. Numerical solutions to the equations of self-focusing and relaxation display filament formation, although filament stabilization is strongly dependent on power. This suggests that further ingredients may be required for a complete theory of filament formation.
