Abstract:
The paper presents the stratified-medium model developed for describing coherent scattering of high-power laser radiation by an ensemble of water aerosol particles applied to solving problems in the femtosecond nonlinear optics. The model presents the aerosol medium in the form of a sequence of layers, with the particles forming thin aerosol screens. The qualitative and quantitative comparison of the results obtained using the model constructed and the Bouguer law for fine aerosol media has been done. The numerical experiment on laser beam propagation through the clouds was performed. The possibility is shown of generating multiple filaments due to perturbations of the intensity of high-power laser beam in aerosol media.
