Thermal blooming of laser beams in turbulent media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This paper presents the results of laboratory experiments that studied the joint effect of turbulence and thermal blooming on laser beam propagation. The effect of turbulence on thermal defocusing, changes in the intensity fluctuations, and the coherence of radiation were investigated under the conditions of the self-action of narrow and broad beams both in the cw and pulse regimes of laser generation.
