Kilometer range filamentation: Effects of filaments on transparent and non-transparent materials at long distances

Kilometer range filamentation: Effects of filaments on transparent and non-transparent materials at long distances

We observe filamentation of a Terawatt laser beam after 1 km propagation in atmosphere. The white light generated was strong enough to saturate a CCD camera and damages on material were characterised.
