Abstract

Due to power scalability, applications of near-infrared high energy lasers (NIR HEL) in local climate change monitoring and anomalous atmospheric parameter probing have been of interest in remote sensing research. The energy transmission effectiveness of HEL is impacted by a variety of atmospheric effects, such as atmospheric extinction and refraction, atmospheric turbulence and thermal blooming. To understand how atmospheric effects affect HEL propagation, we introduce a tropospheric laser propagation channel model to evaluate power transmission for NIR HELs by estimating focal irradiance on a focal plane under various atmospheric conditions. A key feature of thermal blooming to limit applications of HEL output power is investigated.
