Abstract :
The interaction of a laser filament with micro-sized water droplets was studied to further understand the energy dissipation of filaments in aerosol media. The analysis of the shockwave formation allows the quantification of the energy balance during the interaction and discuss the survival of filaments in perturbed propagation media.
