Summary:The original document contains color images. Pub. in the Proceedings of SPIE, v5892 p1-9. In this paper, we summarize progress in free space laser propagation research at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, specifically in the context of propagating and detecting signals through the atmosphere in a maritime environment. Transmission through the atmosphere over large bodies of water presents different challenges that transmission through the atmosphere over land. Our paper reports some of these findings as well as progress in our collaborative efforts to mitigate turbulence to enhance our data links.
