In connection with the wide use of optoelectronic systems, we review the development of
adaptive optics as an effective tool that allows using controllable optical elements to …

Electromagnetic Scintillation describes the phase and amplitude fluctuations imposed on
signals that travel through the atmosphere. The volumes that make up Electromagnetic …

Based on generalizations of numerous measurements and calculations, the influence of the
low-frequency part of the atmospheric turbulence spectrum, directly adjacent to the inertial …

Laser displacement interferometry is used extensively in precision equipment for
semiconductor manufacture. In these applications it is often necessary to introduce a high …

Composite optical vortices may form when two or more beams interfere. Using analytical
and numerical techniques, we describe the motion of these optical phase singularities as the …

A study of atmospheric adaptive optics. It covers: adaptive phase correction of optical wave
distortions in random inhomogeneous media; enhancement of images transmitted through …

In the present work, we briefly describe a model for atmospheric turbulence energy on the
basis of experimental data obtained in Siberia. A series of new studies is considered and the …

A statistically repeatable, hot-air optical turbulence generator, based on the forced mixing of
two air flows with different temperatures, is described. Characterization results show that it is …

Fluctuations in scattered waves limit the performance of imaging and remote sensing
systems that operate on all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. To better …

The background, recent progress and future trends of remote sensing of three environmental
parameters using optical scintillation are reviewed. The parameters are the refractive-index …
