Abstract
Experimental results are presented which suggest that the probability distribution of fluctuations in the intensity of laser light propagating through atmospheric turbulence are reasonably well described by K distributions in the intermediate range of propagation path lengths, L ≃ 600 m, β0≃1–2, where the mean square fluctuation 〈I2〉 /〈I〉2 can be as high as five.
