Ta. Vartanyan, Optical control of longitudinal periodic structures near the boundary of ararefied resonance medium, OPT SPECTRO, 88(4), 2000, pp. 564-567
The state of a rarefied gas medium is described theoretically upon reflecti
on of intense resonance light from its surface. Conditions are found under
which a longitudinal grating of the excited state population arises in the
near-wall region of the medium. A new method for controlling parameters of
the arising structure by means of the light is proposed. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nau
