Abstract:

Analysis is presented of an acoustic response from a CO2-laser pulse radiation propagation channel along an atmospheric path. It is shown that the acoustic technique makes it possible to perform a prompt diagnostics of the plasma formation efficiency in the atmosphere depending on its optical and meteorological state and on the laser pulse power.
