Abstract
Remote measurements of refractive turbulence strength with high spatial resolution are demonstrated. The technique uses spatial and temporal filtering of scintillation from a spatially filtered incoherent optical source. Spatial resolution as fine as 4.5 m was observed at the center of a 110-m propagation path. An analytic approximation to the theory agrees very well with the data. This theory predicts the spatial resolution of a system of this type to be in the vicinity of the path length divided by the total number of cycles in the transmitter and receiver spatial filters.
