Scientific paper

The authors present a wavefront reconstruction technique for beams forward scattered and back scattered through cirrus clouds. The technique uses ray distributions from the Coherent Illumination and Ray Trace Imaging Software for Cirrus which traces the propagation and E field vectors through a 3D volume of ice crystals in the shape of columns, plates, bullets, and bullet rosettes with random positions and polydisperse sizes and orientations. The wavefronts are then propagated to a telescope receiver on the ground and imaged in the receiver focal plate. A modification transfer function for each of these images is calculated and compared to the MTF for a diffraction-limited system.
