Abstract
The thermal blooming effects of focusing multipulse laser was computed and analyzed by four-dimension code of laser propagation in atmosphere.The laser efficiency of propagation can be improved by using multi-pulse laser in the uniform atmosphere,when the number of pulses per flow time Np is from 2 to 6.The defined average pulses P can describe thermal blooming effects of multi-pulse laser propagating through the practical air under certain conditions.
