Abstract

Results of the complex experimental study of the spectral and temporal characteristics of the emission glow of control samples of several solid-state substances (imitation of topographic targets in the atmosphere) and of solid aerosols (imitation of air pollutants) under the action of femtosecond pulses of a Ti:Sa laser (at a carrier wavelength of 800 nm) and nonlinear optical effects are presented.
