MnCl2 laser with pulse repetition frequency up to 125 kHz

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.…”

CoolMOS based high-voltage power supply with PRF up to 200 kHz for metal vapor active media excitation

“…The successful solution of this scienti c issue will signi cantly expand metal halide active media application area. To date, there are different works which show ability to obtain high power [1] and high radiation PRF [2,3] as well as spectral range expansion of active media based on self-terminating transitions in metal atom and their compounds [4,5]. It should be noted that almost all of record results were achieved in laboratory conditions with gas lled or vacuum switches (thyratrons, tacitrons, modulator lamps) which limit the usage of such lasers for modern practical tasks.…”

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.…”
