Two-color correlation of atmospheric scintillation

Abstract

We present the results of measurements of the correlation of scintillations of two colors of light made in the turbulent atmosphere. In strong path-integrated turbulence the correlation is below that predicted by the weak-turbulence theory. A phenomological theoretical approach is used to account for saturation effects. This simple theory provides a reasonable approximation to the correlation data. Thus, we conclude that saturation effects reduce the two-color correlation of atmospheric scintillation.
