<title>Underwater Experiments On The Polarization, Coherence, And Scattering Properties Of A Pulsed Blue-Green Laser</title>

In order to find out if there are major differences in the behavior of laser light and ordinary incoherent light in an underwater environment, four experiments with an RCA pulsed blue-green laser were conducted by U. S. NOTS personnel at the Lake Winnipesaukee Diamond Island Field Station of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Visibility Laboratory during the summer of 1965. The experiments included:
