Product Information
This work examines wave propagation through random media with a special emphasis on recent results concerning laser beam propagation through atmospheric turbulence. The propagation of laser light, which is simply one form of electromagnetic radiation, is important in applications such as weaponry, ranging, remote sensing, laser radar, mechanical positioning by laser beam, laser tracking and distance measuring, among others. The text is useful for engineers and scientists who seek a sound understanding of propagation phenomena and the limitations imposed by the random medium on system performance. The book also is suitable as a graduate level text, with worked examples and exercise sets at the end of most chapters.Product Identifiers
