Investigation of Laser Propagation Phenomena
Abstract
The report contains detailed information on the theoretical efforts of Ohio State University conducted in direct support of the RADC Laser Propagation Program. The efforts described are concentrated in three main areas: the examination of proper averaging times required for specific propagation experiments; the calculation of theoretical curves predicting results of various experiments along slant paths; and the calculation of predicted results for the temporal spectra of particular atmospheric effects. The atmospheric effects included in the analysis are; phase structure function, angle of arrival and coherence length. Both the spatial and temporal characteristics have been considered.
