X Abstract

The frequency spectra of light intensity fluctuations of a laser beam by atmospheric turbulence were investigated using a He-Ne gas laser at 6328 Å with a beam diameter of about 3.5 mm and optical path length of L = 4.5 km and 14.5 km. The normalized spectra U(ƒ) were not systematically affected by different receiving aperture diameters 5 mm ≤ D ≤ 80 mm, probably because of the small diameter of the output aperture of the source. The theoretical relation ƒc ΁ L−1/2, where ƒc is a characteristic frequency of U(ƒ), does not appear to hold empirically.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
