Short Pulse Propagation in the Submillimeter Region.

Abstract

The potential of high intensity pulses, in particular socalled zero-pi pulses, is investigated for transmission of submillimeter waves through the atmosphere. In the theoretical part of the paper the inverse scattering method is applied. A numerical investigation of pulse propagation in the presence of loss is made. The report contains many computer plots which aid in the physical understanding of nonlinear propagation. (Author)
