✦ Synopsis

This spiral-bound pocket reference for practicing engineers and scientists covers the basics of atmospheric optics. It represents a condensed version of similar material found in two textbooks from SPIE Press: Laser Beam Propagation through Random Media and Laser Beam Scintillation with Applications. A sampling of topics includes optical wave models, atmospheric propagation, and free space optical communication systems. Laser radar and optical remote sensing are also discussed.
