Abstract		We measured the electric charge release from single watermicrodroplets illuminated by ultrashort laser filaments in air. This charge is up to 600 times larger than from a comparable filament volume in air. In contrast, for atmospheric droplet concentrations and sizes, the volume-averaged overall droplet contribution to the charge is small as compared with that of the filaments along its whole propagation path.
