Calculating Optical-Transmitter Radiation Pattern s
Abstract
New formula gives more-accurate gains and pointing losses. Set of approximate formulas predicts angular dependence of far radiation field coherent optical transmitter, telescope having central obscuring disk. Formulas derived without recourse to simplifying assumption of uniform plane-wave illumination used to derive less-accurate traditional formulas.
