Laser beam propagation in turbulent conditions

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Diffraction-limited low power laser beams at 1.06 and 3.8 μm were focused by a 91-cm diam aperture onto a receiver located 10.5 km away on a low slant angle path over a desert basin. The analysis of beam areas and turbulence levels was used to determine a new scaling law for tilt-corrected turbulence-induced beam spread.
