Measurement of the energy of wide laser beams in a turbulent atmosphere

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

An analysis of one possible method of determining the energy of a laser pulse that has traversed a test path is given. Based on a model of phase screens and the Monte-Carlo method of statistical tests, the conditions of propagation of laser pulses in air are modeled and geometric parameters of the measurement system which are optimal from the point of view of error minimization are determined.
