Inhomogeneity of refractive index induced by thermal blooming of aerosol

Abstract

In high energy laser (HEL) research, if the effect of aerosols is neglected the thermal blooming effect does not exist when an ideal plane-wave laser propagates through atmosphere. But when the thermal blooming effect of aerosol is considered, the ideal plane-wave laser will induce the inhomogeneity of the refractive index of the atmosphere. This paper is based on the theory of thermal blooming of a single aerosol interacting with a continuous plane-wave laser.
