    Presentations
    A novel concept for global atmosphere monitoring was studied and will be presented. The concept relies on laser pulse filamentation in the atmosphere from a powerful laser embarked in an Earth-orbiting satellite. Filamentation leads to white light generation. Light reflected by different species of air at different altitudes is collected by a space-borne receiver and analyzed. The concept is...

    Presentations
    A short and intense IR femtosecond laser pulse launched in atmosphere undergoes filamentation, with the emergence of a long thin plasma column in the wake of the laser pulse. We will show that this plasma column acts as an efficient optical amplifier in the UV and can form a cavity-less laser. The origin of this optical gain will be discussed. Depending on the polarization of the femtosecond...
