Sodium Vapor Active Element Excited by Nanosecond Optical Pulses

Light scattering matrix for large irregularly shaped ice crystals averaged over an ensemble of particles

“…As a result, these methods cannot be used to effectively solve problems related to laser sensing of the atmosphere. The expansion of the spectral range of lasers, including the near-IR region of the spectrum [28][29][30] , as well as their functional capabilities [31][32] , makes it possible to use them to solve a number of modern problems [33][34][35] . The calculation results confirm our earlier conclusions.…”

Accounting for molecular absorption of laser radiation in the range from UV to mid-IR region on the paths of lidar sounding of gas-aerosol pollution in the atmosphere

“…Lasers are used as radiation sources in lidars. The expansion of the spectral range of lasers, including the near-IR region of the spectrum [3][4][5], as well as their functional capabilities [6,7], makes it possible to use them to solve a number of modern problems [8][9][10]. Passing through the atmosphere, laser radiation is attenuated, including by the components of the atmosphere itself.…”
