Reduction of fluctuations of the laser beam intensity by defocusing with an extended lens

V. V. Vorob'ev


Abstract: A method is suggested for calculating fluctuations of the intensity of light propagating in a turbulent medium whose average refractive index is a quadratic function of the transverse coordinates. This method is suitable for the calculation of changes of fluctuations due to thermal defocusing of a beam.
