The adage "Everyone complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it," may one day be obsolete if researchers at the University of Central Florida's College of Optics & Photonics and the University of Arizona further develop a new technique to aim a high-energy laser beam into clouds to make it rain or trigger lightning. This is an illustration of the dressed filament that fuels the high-intensity laser to travel farther. Credit: Courtesy of University of Central Florida College of Optics and Photonics The solution? Surround the beam with a second beam to act as an energy reservoir, sustaining the central beam to greater distances than previously possible.
