We report an anomalous regime of laser-matter interactions, which is created by the wavelength dependence of electron collision time during filamentation in solids. Experiments are performed using femtosecond-time-resolved interferometry by varying the filament driver wavelength from 1.2 to 2.3 μm and using a 0.8-μm probe. Information on the phase and absorption via interferometry enables simultaneous measurements of plasma densities and electron collision times during filamentation. Although it is expected that the plasma density decreases with increasing wavelength due to larger plasma-defocusing at longer wavelengths [1-4], our measured plasma densities are nearly constant for all the pump wavelengths. This observation is successfully explained by the measured wavelength-dependence of electron collision time: electron collision times in filament-produced plasma decrease with increasing wavelength, which creates an anomalous regime of plasma-defocusing where longer wavelengths experience smaller plasma defocusing. In addition, simulations with the measured electron collision times successfully reproduce the observed plasma density scaling with wavelength [5]. [1] L. Bergé et al., Phys. Rev.
