Detection effects on the statistics of intensity fluctuations of an atmospherically degraded laser beam

Summary

In the present paper experimental results are presented on the statistics of the intensity fluctuations of a laser beam propagated through the atmosphere. It is shown that, on account of the nonlinearity of the detecting system, the non-log-normality of the revealed signal is not an evidence against the log-normality of the incident beam.

Riassunto

Si presentano dei risultati sperimentali sulla statistica delie fluttuazioni di intensità di un fascio laser che si è propagato attraverso l’atmosfera turbolenta. II fatto che il segnale rivelato dal sistema non ha distribuzioni log-normali è interpretato come una distorsione dovuta alla non linearità dell’apparato sperimentale.
