Statistical modeling of detector-recorded radiation energy propagating in the turbulent atmosphere
Abstract
An approximate probability distribution of energy fluctuations of a laser signal propagating in a turbulent atmosphere from a point source is obtained, assuming the signal to be detected by a direct-detection receiver with a limited field of view. The domain of applicability of the approximation obtained is investigated on the basis of statistical modeling of the complex amplitude of the light-wave field on the receiving aperture.
