We ionized He, Ne and Ar in the tunnelling regime with a linearly polarized laser pulse and measured the ion-recoil momentum distribution on an axis perpendicular to laser polarization for two different wavelengths (l = 800 nm and l = 1800 nm). We ob

We have used the Bondio-Gallimberti model of positive leader propagation to simulate laboratory experiments of laser triggering and guiding of upward leaders initiated from a ground rod. The model proves to be capable of reproducing all the important

Using a plasma channel produced by an ultrashort laser pulse, we have studied the laser triggering and guiding of a positive leader from the tip of a 2-m vertical rod standing on the bottom plane of a 7-m plane-plane gap. The purpose of this setup wa

This paper summarizes the research this team has performed over the past few years investigating laboratory electrical breakdown discharges in the presence of a plasma cylinder created by a single ultrashort laser pulse. This work is part of a feasib

Time-resolved visible spectroscopy of plasmas produced by laser breakdown of air using femtosecond Nd laser pulses (50–300 mJ, 500 fs) reveals features not observed with nanosecond laser pulses. Emission is initially dominated by molecular lines, s

With the aim of elucidating the role of thermal effects in air in the leader propagation, the properties of the ionized air (charged species densities, electric field, and air temperature) in a limited region near the tip of the positive leader were

The triggering and guiding of leader discharges using a plasma channel created by a sub-joule ultrashort laser pulse have been studied in a megavolt large-scale electrode configuration (3–7 m rod-plane air gap). By focusing the laser close to the p

Using the nonlinear propagation properties of ultrashort laser pulses in air, we were able to produce long ionized filaments that served to guide spark discharges. With a laser pulse energy of 20 mJ, one or two ionized filaments were created and coul

In an ongoing effort to understand how ultrashort pulse lasers can be used to trigger spark discharges in air over considerable distances at electric fields much below that of self-breakdown, we have studied the influence of the laser pulse energy on

In an ongoing program using ultrashort laser pulses to provoke discharges in air over considerable distances at electric fields below breakdown threshold, we have studied the conditions for the onset of streamers in such laser-produced plasmas, both
