Asymmetrical thermal blooming effect of intense laser beam propagation through atmosphere

Xiangwan Du, Feizhou Zhang

Abstract

The concept of asymmetrical thermal blooming (ATB) effect of intense laser beam propagation through atmosphere is presented. The numerical simulation results for simplified cases are given. Some analyses of the ATB effect have been done.
