Oosterwijk, A. (author), Heikamp, S. (author), Manders-Groot, A. (author), van Eijk, A.M.J. (author)Aerosol content of the atmosphere is an important factor in the propagation of high-energy laser (HEL) beams. Aerosol absorption leads to the thermal blooming effect, where the laser beam heats the air and thereby creates a diverging lens.
