Reseach
is being done to investigate the transmission of laser pulses
through aerosol sprays to simulate propogation through clouds.
Pulse widths were varied from continuous wave (CW) to as short
as 9 femtoseconds (fs). Measurements of the transmission through
a confined aerosol cloud were performed using various femtosecond
laser pulse lengths. In order to better understand the aerosol
data, measurements of the transmission and reflection of femtosecond
pulses of varying pulse duration incident on glass substrates
was carried out. These studies were performed to investigate
the effect of pulse duration on the transmission and reflection
in more detail on materials that were constant in time and would
not have variability that arosols have. |
