title: Phase approximation of the Huygens-Kirchhoff method in problems of laser-beam propagation in the turbulent atmosphere.
abstract: This Letter presents a rigorous mathematical proof of the applicability of phase approximation in the Huygens-Kirchhoff method for the problems of laser-beam propagation in a turbulent atmosphere. The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental data.
