Abstract
A unique result of the process of intensive ℝ beam propagation through water aerosols is the possibility of increasing the transmission of these media. The idea of removing the light scattering property of the aerosol by beam-induced phase transition of the droplets has stimulated the development of nonlinear optics of scattering media, and has provided the basis for the method of beam ‘clearing up’, or dissipation, of water aerosols. This method is energetically advantageous, since the spatially-selective absorption of light by aerosol particles is the only source of energy for the particles’ heat and their eventual vaporization, while the probable resulting increase in the medium’s transmission can be several orders of magnitude.
