Distributed laser energy deposition enables fog-resilient optical communications

Malte C. Schroeder, Victor Moreno, Christophe Coreixas +2

Fog and clouds remain major obstacles to free-space optical (FSO) communications because micron-sized droplets can impose tens of decibels of attenuation. Ultrashort laser filament…

High-power sub-picosecond filamentation at 1.03 μm with high repetition rates between 10 and 100 kHz

Robin Löscher, Victor Moreno, Dionysis Adamou +5

Filamentation has extensively been explored and is well understood at repetition rates <1 kHz due to the typical availability of multi-mJ laser systems at a moderate average power.…

Opto-mechanical expulsion of individual micro-particles by laser-induced shockwave in air

Malte C. Schroeder, Ugo Andral, Jean-Pierre Wolf

It was recently demonstrated that laser filamentation was able to generate an optically transparent channel through cloud and fog for free-space optical communications applications…

Laser-guided lightning

Aurélien Houard, Pierre Walch, Thomas Produit +25

Electric currents circulating between charged clouds and the earth surface during lightning discharges are responsible for considerable damages and casualties. It is therefore impo…

Air hydrodynamics of the ultrafast laser-triggered spark gap

E. W. Rosenthal, I. Larkin, A. Goffin +4

We present space and time resolved measurements of the air hydrodynamics induced by ultrafast laser pulse excitation of the air gap between two electrodes at high potential differe…

Molecular Quantum Wakes for Clearing Fog

Malte C. Schroeder, Ilia Larkin, Thomas Produit +3

High intensity laser filamentation in air has recently demonstrated that, through plasma generation and its associated shockwave, fog can be cleared around the beam, leaving an opt…
