Abstract

Abstract Wandering and correlation of wandering of two parallel laser beams after crossing atmospheric turbulence are theoretically and experimentally investigated. A general expression is given, valid for propagation through a thick layer of turbulence, which includes as a particular case that of a path completely filled with turbulence. Two different models of isotropic atmospheric turbulence are considered and numerical results are derived. The results of an experimental test through the atmosphere are also described.
