Abstract :
In this study, the impact of gaseous molecules on the line spread function (LSF) and temporal response of optical signals at incremental gas pressures, up to 75 psi, has been explored. This is aimed at enhancing the focusing and pulse-shaping characteristics of the light beam. The experimental results indicate clearly an enhancement of the light beam signal characteristics with increasing gas pressure
