Effect of a step short-pulse laser train on an inhomogeneous planar participating medium

Analysis of the Transport of a Train of Short-Pulse Radiation of Gaussian Temporal Profile Through a 2-D Participating Medium

“…Most of them focused their analyses on a simple one-dimensional (1-D) planar geometry [14,18,22,[26][27][28][29][32][33][34]. Some have also solved problems in two-dimensional (2-D) [17,20,21] and three-dimensional (3-D) Cartesian geometries [24,30].…”

“…In the literature 1198 R. MUTHUKUMARAN AND S. C. MISHRA [4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 16-18, 20, 26-28, 32, 34], a good amount of work has been devoted to the analyses using short-pulse radiation having a Gaussian temporal profile. In all the previous studies, except the recent work by Muthukumaran and Mishra [32,33], in the 1-D geometry, the analyses were done using single-pulse radiation having a Gaussian temporal profile. In [32] and [33] Muthukumaran and Mishra studied the effect of multiple pulses having both step and Gaussian temporal profiles on 1-D planar geometry.…”

In [32] and [33] Muthukumaran and Mishra studied the effect of multiple pulses having both step and Gaussian temporal profiles on 1-D planar geometry. However, as far as the 2-D rectangular geometries are concerned, so far no work has been reported that deals with the effect of multiple pulses having a Gaussian temporal profile.…”
