In this thesis, we study the role of an inertial plasma reponse produced by laser pulses in self-focusing regime. Self-focusing is coupled with Brillouin nonlinearities for nanosecond pulses in silica glasses. For femtosecond pulses propagating in KDP crystals, self-focusing excites various ionization chanels. First of all, we derive the propagation equations for the pump and Stokes waves, subjected to filamentation due to optical Kerr effect, stimulated Brillouin scattering and plasma generation. In the second part, we present numerical results on the nonlinear propagation of LIL laser beams. These results show that temporal distribution of the pump pulse play a key role in the competition between self-focusing and stimulated Brillouin sca...
