This paper reviews the investigations of regularities of laser radiation propagation in a turbulent atmosphere carried out through 1971. Special attention is paid to the influence of laser radiation specificity-space limitation, coherence, and the possibility of its focusing on the propagation. Broadening of collimated and focused beams, their random wanderings, intensity fluctuations and coherence both in the conditions of weak fluctuations, described by the Rytov's method, and in the conditions of strong intensity fluctuations are considered.
本文回顾了截至1971年开展的关于激光辐射在湍流大气中传播规律的研究。特别关注了激光辐射特性——空间局限性、相干性及其聚焦可能性对传播的影响。考虑了准直光束和聚焦光束的展宽、它们的随机漂移、强度起伏以及在弱起伏条件下（用里托夫方法描述）和强强度起伏条件下的相干性。
