Suppression of irradiance scintillations in a nonlinear medium

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The propagation of laser irradiance through a nonlinear defocusing medium is considered by the method of smooth perturbation approximation. It is shown that the nonlinearity of the medium leads to suppression of irradiance scintillations that are due to both initial perturbations of the field and background turbulence.
