It is anticipated that such systems, to be of any general utility, will operate under a wide variety of environmental conditions such as clear-air turbulence, rain, fog, snow, etc. In this paper we investigate, theoretically, the effect of rain-induced optical phase fluctuations of an initially coherent wave propagating through the lower atmosphere. In this regard it should be mentioned that clear-air turbulence-induced phase fluctuations have been thoroughly investigated and are well documented in the literature(1). Although rain-induced irradiance fluctuation has been considered previously,(2) this paper, to the best of our knowledge, is the first treatment of rain-induced phase fluctuations and their associated effects on coherent optical systems.","PeriodicalId":408663,"journal":{"name":"2nd Topical Meeting on Coherent Laser Radar: Technology and Applications","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125178876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
