Long time revival of femtosecond laser plasma filaments in air

Long time revival of femtosecond laser plasma filaments in air

We experimentally demonstrate the revival of short lived femtosecond laser induced plasma channels in air by a nanosecond laser pulse up to several milliseconds after plasma recombination. Such revived plasma channel is generated over 50 cm using a Bessel-like nanosecond laser beam.
