Abstract

Atmospheric propagation experiments have been conducted over the 1km TISTEF laser range to examine the effects of turbulence, absorption and scattering on a supercontinuum laser beam. This supercontinuum laser beam has been band limited to transmit only visible wavelengths (400-850 nm). In this work, the effects of atmospheric turbulence on the supercontinuum laser will be examined.
