Abstract:

In this paper, the analysis of the possibility of spatio-temporal filtering of the correlation function of laser beam intensity in the turbulent atmosphere at strong optical turbulence regime is presented. It is shown, that, despite significant distortions in the high-frequency band of spatio-temporal spectrum in comparison with weak turbulence regime, the increase of the temporal delay between the frames allows to separate the impacts of different intervals of the optical path. The characteristic scales of spectral responses differ essentially from current point coordinate along the path. This allows to extract the information about the wind velocity profile.
