Nonuniform Atmospheric Scatter of Short-Pulse Optical Radiation

The results of calculation of the mean intensity of spatially partially coherent pulsed optical beam scattered by an atmospheric layer are presented. It is shown that in contrast to cw radiation, which scatters uniformly, the scatter of pulsed beam becomes nonuniform for shorter pulses. For the femt...
