Ultrashort ultraviolet pulses at 267 nm were generated through four-wave mixing processes in dual-color femtosecond filaments. The generated ultrashort ultraviolet pulses experienced intensity modulation due to molecular-alignment-induced spatial (de)focusing effects, and the output beam profiles were shown to vary observably at different molecular alignment revivals, facilitating all-optical field-free and ultrafast spatial shaping and profile optimization of the ultraviolet pulses.
