Abstract

Based on background of laser atmospheric energy transmission to the UAV application, the impacts of atmospheric refractive on beam deflection is analyzed, and further the attenuation effects of atmospheric molecules and aerosols are discussed. Based on diffraction, turbulence, thermal blooming, optical system jitter and other divergent angle effects, namely the relationship between the optimum laser output beam region and the initial zenith angle, which provides design and analysis methods for UAV atmospheric energy transmission.
