    propagation loss of laser light

    What about scattered laser light. I would think that a laser beam reflected off a curved surface would behave like a directed point source. Wouldn't that be subject to the inverse square law? FYI: My interest is in calculating the incident power on a vehicle from a police laser gun compared to...

    propagation loss of laser light

    So a laser behaves like an ordinary antenna but with an enormous amount of gain. Ya?

    propagation loss of laser light

    The intensity (W/m^2) of an electromagnetic wave from an ordinary antenna decreases with the square of the distance from the emitter (in the far field.) Is the same true for a laser beam?
