The influence of meteorological parameters on Atmospheric transmission at 10.6 microns (CO2-laser radiation) and 0.63 microns (HeNe-laser radiation) from measurements and calculations
Abstract
Experimental and theoretical study on atmospheric transmission of HeNe and CO2 laser radiation in the photopic range is presented. A continuously operating transmissometer designed and developed in the institute measured the attenuation of the two wavelengths simultaneously and over a common path length. The laser transmissometer measurements in the photopic range were performed by commercial visibility meters. Results are compared with semiempirical formula, with deductions from Mie theory and with a model describing transmission through rain.
