摘要: For the past few decades, numerous investigations have been reported on optical propagation in turbulent atmosphere. In recent years, however, theoretical study of fog, clouds, and other particulate matter has attracted considerable attention. Though much progress these phenomena, there are several areas where theory is still not conclusive further needed. This paper presents a review present state-of-the-art atmosphere some discussions future directions this area. Both cw pulse propagations considered quantitative given angular broadening, coherence bandwidth wave turbulence matter. It noted that forward scatter approximations valid for case, but case matter, it convenient to consider three regions: first-order scattering, scatter, diffusion; important take into account effects transmitter receiver characteristics.
