Abstract
The interaction of high–power terahertz radiation from the Novosibirsk free-electron laser at a wavelength of 130 mm in atmospheric transparency window with a model aerosol cloud having the known droplet size distribution function has been studied experimentally for the first time. The experimental data are compared with theoretical calculations obtained from solution of the lidar equation for conditions of the experiment.
