Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of a literature search on the effects of normally occuring atmospheric molecules, aerosols and turbulence on the propagation of low power lasers is presented in a thoroughly cross referenced bibliography. Included are references to theoretical, experimental and modeling studies that could be relevant to developing models (and their required data bases) for the purpose of establishing comprehensive safety standards for laser illumination of the human eye. Two separate computerized literature searches (with extensive manual editing) were utilized, as well as other sources, to locate these references. Current and planned efforts by several key researchers are also described.
