title: Reduction of the moments of intensity fluctuations caused by amplifier saturation for both the K and the log-normally modulated exponential probability densities.
abstract: Equations are derived for the effect of amplifier saturation on the moments of intensity fluctuations in atmospheric laser propagation. The intensity is assumed to have the recently proposed log-normally modulated exponential probability density. The effect is also calculated for the K probability density.
