Atmospheric scintillation of laser beams propagating through a folded path
We have studied the statistical characteristics of laser beams propagating through a folded path in the turbulent atmosphere experimentally and theoretically. Experimental data COHflrmed the theoretical hypothesis of the amplification effects of scintillation. Using a concept of reflected amplification of beam displacement and arrival angle fluctuation, we investigated the amplification of the intensity fluctuation and obtained some results which agree with the experiments.
