Laser based weather control: guided lightning and fog management

Jean-Pierre Wolf

University of Geneva, Switzerland

Ultrafast, intense, laser pulses are able to induce a wealth of non-linear effects in the atmosphere as they propagate, such as filamentation, plasma generation, non-linear photochemistry and shock waves. The successful use of these processes for guiding natural lightning strikes and for piercing clear channels in fog for free space optical communication (FSO) is presented.
