Abstract

Results of the energy attenuation measurements of terahertz radiation from the free-electron laser by a model air-aerosol medium are presented. The spectral and concentration dependencies of energy attenuation are investigated. It was show that the attenuation is caused by aerosol particulates for the implemented experimental conditions.
