| A numerical method for simulation of high power laser beams propagation through atmosphere has been presented under conditions that include spatial coherence of laser, linear phenomena and nonlinear thermal blooming. The simulation technique involves a sequence of phase screens for creating partially coherent beams and modeling effects of aerosol, optical turbulence and thermal blooming. The approach can be used to analysis and evaluate propagation of laser beam in different environments. |
