Abstract:

On the assumption that optical wave intensities follow the two–dimensional lognormal distribution in the turbulent atmosphere, the probability density of the difference in the intensity fluctuations is considered. It is shown that the results obtained employing the model agree fairly well with the experimental data for weak fluctuations of the intensity.
