Abstract
Experimental evidence for a negative exponential distribution of intensity in a ground-to-satellite optical link is presented. The asymptotic limit for the normalised variance of intensity is unity, but both theoretical and experimental results show that this limit is approached very slowly. It is apparent that too large a beam size can have deleterious effects on fading performance
