PREDICTION OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROCESS OF INTERACTION OF PULSED LASER RADIATION WITH GASDISPERSE SYSTEMS
K. N. Volkov and V. N. Emel'yanov UDC 532.529:536.24 Models of the process of interaction of pulsed laser radiation with gasdisperse systems are developed. Both individual stages of the process accompanying the interaction of a laser pulse with a gasdisperse system and the dynamics of the state of the system under the conditions of interference of processes of various physical nature are modeled. Generalized dependences allowing prediction of the characteristics of a probing beam are constructed. Boundaries of the region of efficient supply of laser-pulse energy to the system are determined.
