Efficient Simulation of High Power, Ultra-Short Laser Pulse Propagation Through Atmosphere

Abstract

The goal of the research is to develop a computationally efficient atmospheric propagation simulation suitable for use by both experimental and theoretical scientists. The simulation will aid in the characterization of high peak power laser pulses propagating long distances through atmosphere, and will contribute to the assessment of these pulses in directed energy applications, including EMP and remote radiation generation, LIDAR, and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).
