The recent development of high average, high peak power lasers has revived the effort of using lasers as a potential tool to influence natural lightning. Although impressive, the current progress in laser lightning control technology may only be the beginning of a new area involving a positive feedback between powerful laser development and atmospheric research. In this review paper, we critically evaluate the past, present and future of Laser Lightning Control (LLC), considering both its technological and scientific significance in atmospheric research.
高平均功率、高峰值功率激光器的最新发展，使利用激光作为影响自然闪电的潜在工具的研究工作得以复兴。尽管目前激光闪电控制技术取得了令人瞩目的进展，但这可能仅仅是一个新领域的开端，该领域涉及强大激光技术发展与大气研究之间的正反馈。在这篇综述论文中，我们批判性地评估了激光闪电控制（LLC）的过去、现在和未来，同时考虑了其在大气研究中的技术和科学意义。
