LAtmoSim - Laser Atmosphere Transmission Simulator

LAtmoSim consists of a code and user interface that calculates the changes that the laser will undergo as it passes through the atmosphere. Being able to accurately model these effects is crucial for high-power laser and optical communication systems. The atmospheric effects modeled by LAtmoSim are as follows:

  • Turbulence
  • Permeability
  • Thermal Blooming

LAtmoSim uses the Split-step Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm with random phase pitch generation to model the laser propagation through turbulent atmosphere. The sub-harmonic method is used to add low frequencies. In addition to numerical calculations, analytical models are also included to allow comparisons to be made.

Models the propagation of the laser beam through the atmosphere in weak and strong turbulence regimes.

It allows the identification of single and multiple collimated or focused Gaussian and super-Gaussian laser beams by wavelength, beam radius, beam quality (M²), peak power density and super-Gaussian index.

It creates Rastsal phase pitches.

It allows the laser to travel horizontally and inclined paths, and calculates using experimental models of Cn² vertical variation for inclined up-link and down-link scenarios.

It incorporates low spatial frequencies into calculations using the sub-harmonic method.

It calculates the ensemble mean values of beam travel, long-term beamwidth, flicker index with different number of implementations of Turbulence and compares them with the values obtained from theoretical calculations.

It can calculate the atmospheric permeability in two different ways. Users with the FASCODE program calculate the atmospheric transmittance by entering the FASCODE parameters from the user interface. Those who do not have such a possibility calculate atmospheric permeability by combining the Kruse and Kim visibility dependent model and the Marshall-Palmer precipitation model.

Calculates the thermal blooming effect numerically. Allows parameter scanning.

Draws various graphs that visualize analysis results.

It creates data files for use in other platforms such as Excel. The graphics it creates can be copied.

Supported by help documents.
