  • Abstract
    In the experiment reported here the decay law of the intensity of a thin laser beam while it bends around a cylindrical plexiglas layer under grazing incidence was investigated. It is indicated that the obtained results could be extended, under certain conditions, in order to cover long-range VHF propagation observations and justify appropriate layered models.
