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…
HV discharges triggered by dual- and triple-frequency laser filaments
Thomas Produit, Pierre Walch, Guillaume Schimmel +10
We study the use of frequency upconversion schemes of near-IR picosecond laser pulses and compare their ability to guide and trigger electric discharges through filamentation in ai…
High repetition rate ultrashort laser cuts a path through fog
Lorena de la Cruz, Elise Schubert, Denis Mongin +6
We experimentally demonstrate that the transmission of a 1030~nm, 1.3~ps laser beam of 100 mJ energy through fog increases when its repetition rate increases to the kHz range. Due…
Dual-scale turbulence in filamenting laser beams at high average power
Elise Schubert, Lorena de la Cruz, Denis Mongin +6
We investigate the self-induced turbulence of high repetition rate laser filaments over a wide range of average powers (1 mW to 100 W) and its sensitivity to external atmospheric t…
