In most applications of lasers, such as cutting and engraving, the laser source is brought to the point of service where the laser beam is needed to perform its function. However, in some important applications such as remote atmospheric sensing, placing the laser at a convenient location is not an option. Current sensing schemes rely on the detection of weak backscattering of ground-based, forward-propagating optical probes, and possess limited sensitivity. The concept of air lasing (or atmospheric lasing) relies on the idea that the constituents of the air itself can be used as an active laser medium, creating a backward-propagating, impulsive, laser-like radiation emanating from a remote location in the atmosphere. This book provides important insights into the current state of development of air lasing and its applications. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Optical Sciences,$x0342-4111 ;$v208 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aSpectroscopy 606 $aAtmospheric sciences 606 $aOptics 606 $aElectrodynamics 606 $aRemote sensing 606 $aAtoms 606 $aPhysics 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 606 $aSpectroscopy/Spectrometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C11020 606 $aAtmospheric Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000 606 $aClassical Electrodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21070 606 $aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010 606 $aAtoms and Molecules in Strong Fields, Laser Matter Interaction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24025 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aSpectroscopy. 615 0$aAtmospheric sciences. 615 0$aOptics. 615 0$aElectrodynamics. 615 0$aRemote sensing. 615 0$aAtoms. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 615 24$aSpectroscopy/Spectrometry. 615 24$aAtmospheric Sciences. 615 24$aClassical Electrodynamics. 615 24$aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry. 615 24$aAtoms and Molecules in Strong Fields, Laser Matter Interaction. 676 $a551.50287 702 $aPolynkin$b Pavel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCheng$b Ya$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300540403321 996 $aAir Lasing$91864300 997 $aUNINA
