Simultaneous Measurement of Air-water Interface Slope and the Point Spread Function for the Propagation of Laser Light

Abstract

The objective of this project funded by ONR (grant # N00014-06-1-0374) was to measure, understand and be able to predict the propagation of light through the air-sea interface under various sea states. Results indicate that the under sea scattered light patterns are quite simple in mild sea state and wind (< 5 mph) however, the increase in sea state leads to various types of patterns that are currently under analysis.
