Theory of mesospheric sodium fluorescence excited by pulse trains

We describe a two-level model for the mesospheric sodium resonance fluorescence excited by a train of pulses. For pulse durations that are short compared with the 16-ns natural lifetime, population-rate equations are inadequate and must be replaced by density-matrix (Bloch) equations. We briefly con...
