Profile Summary

Dr. Italo Toselli is a senior scientist at Fraunhofer IOSB and the founding member of TurbOttica LLC. He has received his M.Sc. degree (2002) in Electronics Engineering from La Sapienza University (Italy) and his postgraduate Master in Information Technology (2002) from Cefriel-Politecnico di Milano (Italy) followed by his Ph.D. (2008) in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (Italy). Before starting his Ph.D., he joined the Italian Navy as an Officer. During his Ph.D., he spent more than two years at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, working with Profs. Larry C. Andrews and Ronald L. Phillips. From January 2010 to October 2011 he held a National Research Council postdoctoral award at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. From September 2013 to June 2014 he was an ERCIM Marie Curie Fellow at the same institute where he is currently employed (Fraunhofer IOSB). From June 2014 to May 2017 he was a researcher at the Department of Physics at the University of Miami, Florida, before eventually re-joining Fraunhofer IOSB. Dr. Toselli co-authored many journal and proceeding papers focused on laser beam propagation through random media and he is a reviewer of main journals in optics and atmospheric propagation. He has served as invited speaker at SPIE and OSA conferences. He is a Senior member of OSA, a member of SPIE and a Committee member of main conferences in his field.

Course Instructor
SC1327: Optical Turbulence and Laser Beam Propagation
Optical turbulence is of interest for several applications involving laser beam propagation through the atmosphere and ocean. This course is organized in a simple and modular manner with the goal to make optical turbulence understandable to anyone with some basic knowledge in random process, wave propagation and optics. The course covers a wide range of topics from the theory of Kolmogorov and the Rytov method to main applications such as free space optical communication, underwater communications and laser radar and imaging. Students, engineers and scientists interested in free space optics and imaging will benefit from taking this course.
