Optimum power for incoherent beam combination in atmospheric turbulence

Mukesh Kumar, Arpit Khandelwal, Syed Azeemuddin, Jagannath Nayak

Abstract

We have analyzed the thermal blooming effect on laser beam propagation under atmospheric turbulence in different environments. It is observed that the laser source having an input power of less than 4 kW is less affected by thermal blooming and more appropriate for incoherent beam combinations in any environmental conditions.
