✦ Synopsis


Renewed interest in laser communication systems has sparked development of useful new analytic models. This book discusses optical scintillation and its impact on system performance in free-space optical communication and laser radar applications, with detailed look at propagation phenomena and the role of scintillation on system behavior.

Intended for practicing engineers, scientists, and students.
