DESCRIPTION

This book, originally published March 19, 1996, has been republished as an eBook April 19, 2022. In this analysis of atmospheric action on optical radiation leading to fluctuations of the radiation parameters, we will give primary attention to atmospheric turbulence, refraction of optical beams over extended paths, and the effects of thermal blooming of high-power laser beams.
