The presented review summarizes nearly two decades of studies on femtosecond laser-
induced breakdown spectrometry (fs-LIBS). When an ultra-short (< 1 ps) laser pulse is used …

Femtosecond laser filamentation is a unique nonlinear optical phenomenon when high-
power ultrafast laser propagation in all transparent optical media. During filamentation in the …

This book attempts to give a discussion of the physics and current and potential applications
of the self-focusing of an intense femtosecond laser pulse in a transparent medium …

Powerful femtosecond laser pulses propagating in transparent materials result in the
formation of self-guided structures called filaments. Such filamentation in air can be …

Filamentation of ultra-short TW-class lasers recently opened new perspectives in
atmospheric research. Laser filaments are self-sustained light structures of 0.1–1 mm in …

We report airborne measurements of the column abundance of atmospheric methane made
over an altitude range of 3–11 km using a direct detection integrated-path differential …

The filamentation process under atmospheric turbulence is critical to its remote-sensing
application. The effects of turbulence intensity and location on the spatial distribution of …

The recent development of high average, high peak power lasers has revived the effort of
using lasers as a potential tool to influence natural lightning. Although impressive, the …

We review the recent results about laser-induced condensation based on self-guided
filaments generated by ultrashort laser pulses. After recalling the physico-chemistry of cloud …
