Effects of propagation in air on photon statistics
Calculations of photon counting distributions and fade probabilities are compared with measured data obtained using very weak laser pulses propagated over 10-km horizontal paths. Good agreement is obtained between theory and experiment using various simplifying assumptions and values of the refractive-index structure constant C{sup 2}{sub n} lying within an expected range.
