Physical Interpretation of the Motion of a Laser Pulse within the Framework of the Four-Oscillator Model

  • Published:
Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

A physical multidimensional local model of the propagation process of a laser pulse in air having no analogy to famous models in laser physics is constructed. It is based on the representations of classical wave mechanics characteristic of the theory of scalar wave fields.
