Description:

The statistics of the angle of arrival and of the irradiance of a reflected laser beam in the turbulent atmosphere are calculated. The angle-of-arrival fluctuations of a reflected beam depend strongly on the reflector characteristics; convex surfaces produce smaller fluctuations than concave surfaces do. The irradiance fluctuations on a path folded by a “large” reflector are generally larger than those that would be observed on a single path of the same total length.
