LASER BEAM PROPAGATION THROUGH A CONDENSATION TRAIL BEHIND AIRCRAFT

摘要

The aerooptical problem of laser beam propagation through a contrail is solved by using a rigorous numerical calculation of the nonlinear Schroedinger (or Fresnel) equations and an asymptotic description of a turbulent condensation trail behind a large civil aircraft (Prandtl equations), including particle sizes distribution of the polydispersive water aerosols.
