Reduction of the moments of intensity fluctuations caused by amplifier saturation for both the K and the log-normally modulated exponential probability densities.
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.
