A
novel method for simulating the propagation of lasers in turbulent atmosphere
is presented. The method incorporates two new approaches; the first is a way
to describe the turbulent media as a volumetric bulk, instead of the well-known
2D phase screens. The second is a ray-tracing engine developed for this purpose.
The combination of these two approaches allows the reliable modelling of the
fine details of the propagation process and the observation of all the relevant
parameters. The results are compared to analytic cases and additional data. This
method of propagation is probably the most straight-forward modelling scheme
available for this purpose. The assumptions and approximations that were used
are minimal, thus increasing the validity and scope of this work to include all
atmospheric conditions.
Biography
I Naeh has completed his PhD in physics from Tel-Aviv
University. During his PhD study he developed new methods
for simulatingpropagation of lasers in turbulent atmosphere.
Based on these simulations, he has established the concept of
atmospheric channels and suggested a newapproach for using
these channels to perform coherent beam combining using an
optical phased array. Currently, he works at Rafael Advanced
Defense Systems Ltd., as a Research Associate. His work was
published in leading peer-reviewed journals.
