Abstract
General analytical expressions are given for two types of definite integrals of Bessel functions arising in the theory of laser propagation through the atmosphere which have previously been evaluated numerically only over a limited range of parameters. The expressions are also generalized to include the analogous integrals with the Bessel functions being replaced by the spherical Bessel functions.
