Spatial spikes of laser irradiance propagating over large distances in a turbulent medium
Statistics of the random field of spatial spikes of laser irradiance over large distances in a turbulent medium are investigated. Formulas are obtained defining the mean value of the area of the spikes, their density, and the mean distance between the nearest spikes in a plane transverse to the dire...

Zusammenfassung: | Statistics of the random field of spatial spikes of laser irradiance over large distances in a turbulent medium are investigated. Formulas are obtained defining the mean value of the area of the spikes, their density, and the mean distance between the nearest spikes in a plane transverse to the direction of propagation. Numerical calculations illustrate the case of a focused Gaussian beam. |
