Intensity correlation of radiation scattered along the path of a laser beam propagating in the atmosphere
Abstract
Correlation properties of the electromagnetic field scattered away from the direction of propagation of a laser beam are studied. The correlation could be used for whenever a direct measurement of the scattered intensity is difficult due to background radiation. Correlation measurements are also connected with the scale of atmospheric turbulence.
