Abstract

We report measurements of the statistical properties associated with the intensity fluctuations of a He-Ne laser propagated through a laboratory simulated atmospheric turbulence as well as through the open air atmospheric turbulence region. From these measurements the probability density function representative of the random process was identified by comparing the measured parameters with those of standard theoretical models. Photon counting techniques have been used in all our measurements.
