25/09/18 Mary: Laser filamentation for atmospheric purposes

Laser filamentation has many applications in remote sensing, air lasing, point-to-point communications and charge conduction. Also of interest are the photochemical reactions which are initiated by laser filamentation in humid air (RH >70%) which lead to nucleation and droplet condensation phenomena in warm conditions and secondary ice crystal growth in cirrus cloud conditions.

I present an overview of recent work and how this can be applied to climate models and atmospheric detection of particulate pollution and organic molecules
