The emission spectra produced in ambient air with focused strong femtosecond laser pulses are studied experimentally. The results show the emission spectrum presents the short-wavelength continuum spectrum with stronger intensity(cutoff wavelength 340 nm) and long-wavelength line spectrum with less weak intensity(near 800 nm). A similar spectrum shape can be acquired with fixed pulse width 50 fs and adjustable laser pulse energy. When the pulse energy is 1 mJ and the pulse width increases from 50 fs to 1ps, the peak value of continuum spectrum located in 500 nm wavelength becomes strong and gradually presents the line spectrum characteristics.
