As part of the studies on laser damage linked to the Megajoule project, we analyze the coupling between the Kerr induce self-focusing and the stimulated Brillouin backscattering pour nanosecond optical pulses propagating in silica samples. The influence of the incident power, phase or amplitude modulations as well as the spatial profile of the pulse of the filamentation dynamic is discussed. We show that an appropriate amplitude modulation dividing the incident pulse in pulse trains of picosecond durations suppresses the Brillouin effect for any incident power but noticeably reduces the available average laser power. On the contrary, phase modulated pulses with a comparable spectral width can undergo multiple filamentation and self-focusing...
