Use of the Long-Wavelength Range for Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Aerosols

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

“…As we see from Fig. 2, all curves show the appearance of a backscattering peak [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] , which is formed due to interference between straight and conjugate beam trajectories. It is worth noting that performing numerical calculations within the framework of the geometric optics approximation, or physical optics without considering interference, can result in significant errors in the polarization characteristics near the backward scattering direction.…”

High frequency capacitive discharge pumped Cu+Ne laser

“…Today, lasers are an effective tool for solving a wide range of modern problems [1][2][3][4][5] . Improving their lasing characteristics, expanding the spectral range, and increasing the efficiency of converting pump energy into radiation energy remains an important task in such a branch of science as laser physics.…”

Data bank of the optical properties of ice particles of cirrus clouds for interpretation of lidar data of Russian Orbital Station

“…Observation of the state of the atmosphere and the underlying surface of the Earth using active remote sensing instruments (such as lidars and radars) installed on spacecraft [15][16][17][18][19][20] make it possible to quickly and globally study climateforming factors and their relationships within the climate system as a whole [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] .…”
