Abstract
Optical beam propagation through the atmosphere is suffering from turbulence condition and scattering due to the refractive index effects on propagation. In this paper, we study optical beam propagation under the UAE’s weather conditions. An outdoor test was carried out to gather the atmosphere parameters (temperature, wind, humidity, and refractive index) and feed them to a beam propagation model. The beam centroid was determined to study and predict the effects on it at different periods of the day.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics is an international peer reviewed journal that presents experimental and theoretical articles relevant to a wide range of problems of atmospheric and oceanic optics, ecology, and climate. The journal coverage includes: scattering and transfer of optical waves, spectroscopy of atmospheric gases, turbulent and nonlinear optical phenomena, adaptive optics, remote (ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne) sensing of the atmosphere and the surface, methods for solving of inverse problems, new equipment for optical investigations, development of computer programs and databases for optical studies. Thematic issues are devoted to the studies of atmospheric ozone, adaptive, nonlinear, and coherent optics, regional climate and environmental monitoring, and other subjects.
