Experimental Study of the Interaction between Terahertz Radiation from the Novosibirsk Free-Electron Laser and Water Aerosol

摘要

Interactions of high-power terahertz radiation from the Novosibirsk free-electron laser at a wave-length of 130 μm in an atmospheric window with a model aerosol cloud with a known droplet size distribution function has been studied experimentally for the first time. The experimental data are compared with theoretical calculation results obtained from solution of the lidar equation for conditions of the experiment.
