Adaptive Beaming and Imaging in the Turbulent Atmosphere

The extensive use of optical technologies for solving problems of information transfer, narrow-directional electromagnetic energy transport, and image formationin an outdoor atmosphere calls for the development of adaptive correction methods and devices of that are a radical means of controlling the decrease in the efficiency of atmospheric optical systems caused by inhomogeneities in large-scale refractive indexes. These inhomogeneities are due to the turbulent mixing of atmospheric air masses …
