Multiple pulse detection in atmospheric turbulence

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Expressions are derived for the probability of detecting at least m threshold crossings in n transmitted laser pulses in the presence of atmospheric turbulence assuming uncorrelated Gaussian receiver noise. The limiting cases of no pulse-to-pulse correlation and complete correlation are evaluated explicitly. In general, we find the presence of correlation can significantly modify the detection statistics and should be included in systems calculations.
