Abstract
A computer code called LASER has been developed and documented and will be made available to interested users. LASER is a version of HITRAN which computes the monochromatic extinction coefficients for both molecular and particulate components of the atmosphere and provides results for a series of atmospheric models from sea level to 100 km in altitude. A detailed description of the calculations leading to these extinction coefficient charts is provided, and charts are provided for a number of specific laser frequencies in order to bring up to date previously published results. In addition, high spectral resolution atmospheric transmission spectra have been provided covering the regions of CO2, CO, and DF laser emission. These plotted spectra represent an up-to-date version of previously published material.Keywords
