Long Baseline Measurements of Light Transmission.

Abstract

Measurements have been made of the uncollimated ('poor geometry') 1/e transmission distance of light in seawater, at approximately 1 km and 1.5 km depths, 27 km east of the center of the proposed DUMAND site off Keahole Point, Hawaii. The measurements were made with 480 nanometer blue-green light, through path lengths of 84.0 meters and 7.86 meters. (Author)
