Abstract
The discrete and regular character of structured laser radiation makes it possible to quantitatively diagnose the media of interest on the basis of experimental refractograms. Quantitative diagnostics envisages the solution of the inverse problem and consists in the determination of the parameters of the inhomogeneity in hand (provided that it is specified by a parametric model) or the reconstruction of its profile in the form of a finite set of numbers.
