    Area of Science:

    • Physics
    • Optical Engineering
    • Atmospheric Science

    Background:

    • Free space optical propagation is crucial for communication, LIDAR, and directed energy systems.
    • Optical turbulence significantly impacts beam propagation, with scintillation index being a key metric.
    • Understanding and predicting scintillation is vital for reliable optical system performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare experimental optical scintillation measurements with model predictions.
    • To evaluate the accuracy of Extended Rytov theory and wave optics simulation models.
    • To determine the feasibility of predicting optical scintillation using environmental parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted 16km optical scintillation measurements over the Chesapeake Bay for three months.
    • Utilized NAVSLaM (Monin Obhukov similarity theory) for turbulence parameter modeling based on environmental data.
    • Applied Extended Rytov theory and wave optics simulation to model scintillation.

    Main Results:

    • Wave optics simulation demonstrated a significantly better match to experimental data than Extended Rytov theory.
    • Environmental parameters were found to be effective for predicting optical scintillation.
    • Observed distinct optical scintillation characteristics over water under stable versus unstable atmospheric conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Wave optics simulation is a more accurate method for predicting optical scintillation compared to Extended Rytov theory.
    • Environmental measurements can be reliably used to predict optical scintillation.
    • Atmospheric stability (stable vs. unstable) influences optical scintillation behavior over water.
