Beating Optical Turbulence Limits Using High Peak-Power Lasers
Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate the ability of a nonlinear self-channeling beam to resist turbulence-induced spreading and scintillation. Spatio-temporal data is presented for an 850-meter long, controlled turbulence range that can generate weak to strong turbulence on demand. At this range, the effects of atmospheric losses and dispersion are significant. Simulation results are also presented and show good agreement with experiment.
