Investigation of Laser Propagation Phenomena

Abstract

The object of the contract has been to provide theoretical studies of selected topics associated with light-beam propagation through a turbulent atmosphere for a program being conducted at the Rome Air Development Center. Among the topics considered have been temporal spectra of atmospherically induced phase difference fluctuations, an analysis of an angle-of-arrival apparatus used at RADC and a study of the Fourier transform image restoration procedure. Previous work is summarized, and new results are added where applicable.
