Abstract:

The propagation of a laser pulse through the dense soot aerosol of submicron sizes is investigated. Considerable clearing-up of the aerosol was found. It is determined that clearing mechanisms are the collective burning of the particles and their carring out from the beam region due to the expansion of heat air. The equation for energy density is derived which relates the parameters of the laser beam to that of the aerosol. The results of the equation solution well agree with the experimental data.
