Transmission Measurements of Femtosecond Laser Pulses Through Aerosols

Abstract

Investigations of ultra short femtosecond pulse propagation of > 9 fs were carried out in aerosol clouds of 10(exp 14) particles per cc and for fused silica, and cells containing water. Results indicated that there is a trend for greater transmission as the pulse length is shortened. The results indicated that the phenomena is just on the turn on of the electron not being able to follow the applied electric fields.
