Triggering and guiding of high-voltage Tesla coil discharges by femtosecond laser-induced plasma filaments in air

We report experimental guiding of high-voltage (HV) sparks discharges in air with plasma filaments generated by a terawatt femtosecond laser. Large sparks discharges are shoot up from a HV electrode fixed at the top of a Tesla coil voltage elevator to a farther grounded one.
