Abstract
Filamentation-induced water condensation and snow formation are investigated using laser pulses with different chirps and pulse widths. Chirped pulses result in the laser filamentation with different spatial lengths and intensities, which has a great impact on airflow motion and snow formation. The experiments show that snow formation mainly relates to the filament intensity distribution. Negative chirped pulses produce a greater amount of snow because of higher intensity inside the filaments as compared with the positive chirped pulses.
