摘要: Polychromatic laser guide stars (PLGS) are created by resonant excitation of the mesospheric sodium two pulsed lasers at 589 nm and 569 respectively. The efficiency this process is investigated numerically means both Bloch equations rate models. influence numerous parameters studied. For 2×25 W average power return flux below 105 photons/s/m2.
