Linear absorption and scattering of laser beams
Abstract
The linear transmission effects of the atmosphere on laser beams is described and examples are given of high resolution (FASCODE) model predictions of transmittance for carbon dioxide, deuterium fluoride, Hydrogen fluoride, Neodymium - Yttrium alluminum garnet, Iodine, and Excimer laser wavelengths.
