Abstract
Laser filaments interacting with cirrus like ice crystals not only fragment the particles in smaller ones but also produce a large number of small secondary ice particles by re-condensation of the released water vapor. This new phenomenon drastically modifies the radiative forcing properties of these ice clouds.
