Longitudinal turbulent overfocusing of radiation in optical receivers

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The effect of longitudinal overfocusing of the radiation in optical receivers that is due to refractive-index fluctuations in air has been experimentally investigated. The dependence of the magnitude of the source-image plane shift on the turbulence intensity along the path is estimated. It is shown that the use of a variable observation plane, which takes into account the shift of the source image plane with the change in the turbulent state of a medium, permits reduction of the mean spot size by a factor of 1.4–1.6.
