Time-frequency mapping of the positional characteristics of single- and multimode wave beam at the lengthy atmospheric path output

Abstract

The comparative experimental analysis of the single-mode and multimode positional characteristics of the wave beams at the lengthy atmospheric path output was carried out and the results are presented. As the main instrument the method of nonlinear time-frequency mapping was chosen usingWigner function apparatus. The characteristic time-frequency spectra under the conditions of strong, intermediate and weak turbulence of the atmospheric path were defined.
