Abstract :
This paper is focused on the Gaussian beam properties in the turbulent atmosphere. At first the optical wireless link is briefly introduced and the atmospheric transmission media is presented. The atmospheric turbulences are introduced and laser beam geometry is analyzed. For the Gaussian beam in the turbulent atmosphere we can calculate correlation between influenced laser beam and ideal Gaussian beam. The correlation is in relation with the volume of atmospheric turbulences, which can be evaluated by structure parameter refractive index. Idea of the turbulent area, the turbulent optical intensity envelope and the substitutive function is introduced. Expression of the volume of atmospheric turbulences by turbulent area is presented in this work.
