An experimental approach was used to investigate the spatial and temporal disturbances induced on a laser's intensity distribution. The measurements were made for propagation over very homogeneous paths so that the results could be compared directly with available theories. 000000036 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000036 650__ $$aInfrared Rays$$020810 000000036 650__ $$aLasers$$021338 000000036 6531_ $$aatmospheric effects 000000036 6531_ $$aatmospheric turbulence 000000036 6531_ $$alaser beams 000000036 692__ $$aDepartment of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics$$041410 000000036 7001_ $$aDunphy, James R.$$uOregon Graduate Center$$041351 000000036 7201_ $$aHolmes, J.
