Renewed interest in laser communication systems has sparked development of useful new analytic models. This book discusses optical scintillation and its impact on system performance in free-space optical communication and laser radar applications, with detailed look at propagation phenomena and the role of scintillation on system behavior.Intended for practicing engineers, scientists, and students.Contents - Preface - Symbols and Notation - Optical Wave Propagation in Random Media: Background Review - Modeling Optical Scintillation - Theory of Scintillation: Plane Wave Model - Theory of Scintillation: Spherical Wave Model - Theory of Scintillation: Gaussian-Beam Wave Model - Aperture Averaging - Laser Communication Systems - Fade Statistics for Lasercom Systems - Laser Radar Systems: Scintillation of Return Waves - Laser Radar Systems: Imaging through Turbulence
