Many outdoor optical techniques are greatly affected by the atmospheric turbulence, as experienced in various areas such as passive and active sensing, directed energy applications, astronomy etc. In the last decade, massive efforts have been devoted to understand and predict these alterations, as well as to develop some technologies that overcome them.

The French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis (ISL)* organizes a workshop on this topic, with the scope to bring together scientists and engineers, and to provide an overview of some recent developments in the field. The workshop, entitled

Optical Propagation

through the Turbulent Atmosphere (OPTA)

The present announcement is open to anyone interested in attending the Workshop. Participants are strongly encouraged to give an oral presentation of their studies and interests in the subject.
