In all cases, conditions were identified in which UVB stimulation accelerates the germination of these seeds and the formation of seedlings. Additionally, microcoping of germinating 10-day-old thuja seeds performed on sections shows that the seeds show clear differences compared to the untreated control. If in the control, the seeds were just beginning to germinate (the appearance of the germ root), then in the experimental samples, on average, 5% of the seeds passed to the stage of development and formation of the seedling, had a developed root, hypocotyl, colored cotyledons, which began to shed the seed rind. The obtained primary data confirm the prospects of using narrow-band UVB radiation of XeCl-excilamps for pre-sowing stimulation of plant seeds.","PeriodicalId":205170,"journal":{"name":"Atomic and Molecular Pulsed Lasers","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124891623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measured radius of the photonic curvature it creates approximates to half of the wavelength, which is the smallest curvature of electromagnetic wave ever reported.

If the range of sounding wavelengths is narrow, but includes evident absorption bands of an aerosol substance, then this substance can be detected from the backscattering spectrum. This is a ground for the use of the differential scattering (DICS) technique for the detection of known organic compounds in natural and anthropogenic aerosol. CO2 lasers with the wavelength tuning range 9–11 μm, which includes the absorption bands of many organic substances, are apparently the most suitable for DICS implementation. It should be borne in mind that when the imaginary part of the refractive index changes (for example, when an absorbing substance is added to a water drop), the real part of the refractive index is also changes. For large particles (r ≥ 10 μm), even small changes in the refractive index significantly affect the backscattering efficiency. The accuracy of the literature data is insufficient for preliminary (a priori) calculation of aerosol backscatter coefficients. Therefore, the development of DICS requires extensive field measurements and their complex mathematical processing with the use of machine learning algorithms. This research sets out the task of systematization of the backscattering radiation by atmospheric aerosol with different organic substances and finding out the wave lengths where the backscatter signal is higher than the selective and continuum atmospheric molecular absorption.","PeriodicalId":205170,"journal":{"name":"Atomic and Molecular Pulsed Lasers","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129902394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
