Abstract
We study the effects of controlled atmospheric turbulence on femtosecond filament-induced plasmas and ablation characteristics upon its interaction with solids at standoff distances. We evaluated shot-to-shot optical emission signal stability, electron number density, and plasma temperature as a function of turbulence strength. The surface topography of the ablation craters resulting from the filament-matter interaction was studied in detail and was correlated to the corresponding optical emission signals under different levels of turbulence. These findings provide first insights into filament-induced plasma optical emission signals and filament target-interaction under controlled turbulence conditions for remote elemental and isotopic sensing applications.
