Abstract

The relation σΔt/σtheory = (τ1/τ)[−exp(−Δt/τ)], obtained by M. Skowronek and J. Alayli for Rayleigh scattering of light pulses, is experimentally investigated. Relative measurements of scattering are made in Ar and N2 without taking into account instrumental effects. It is shown that the level of scattering in a gas medium is independent of the pulse duration Δt for a pulse with a wavelength of λ = 0.53 μm in the range 2 ns ⩽ Δt ⩽ 30 ns.
