Strategic Laser Communications Uplink Analysis

Abstract

The work presented in this report is concerned with two distinct matters. Each of these is covered in one of the two chapters of this volume. Chapter 1 treats the subject of anisoplanatism in ordinary adaptive optics. The subject of Chapter 2 is the development of an estimate of pulse laser backscatter signal from the upper atmosphere.
