I know what's happening with the arc to the fire and smoke - Fire 
generates carbon as a product and it is the carbon that is conducting 
the electricity. The same with smoke - along with all of the chemical 
compounds that is generated, carbon is one of the products.

The laser will have to be able to react with components in the air to 
generate a conductor with out losing power.

One of the reasons for arcing is moisture in the air. Put a Tesla 
Coil in a vacuum chamber and see how much arcing you get. The same 
will apply in extremely dry conditions.
