Abstract
A laboratory simulation of the transmission of a large-divergence light beam through a turbid atmosphere is limited by the necessity to scale down the receiver size. The authors show how this limitation can be overcome by considering the extension of the part of the receiver plane where the scattered radiance is constant.Keywords
