A concept of atmospheric turbulence characterization using laser light backscattered off a moving unresolved target or a moving target with a glint is considered and analyzed through wave-optics numerical simulations. The technique is based on analysis of the autocorrelation function and variance of the power signal measured by the target-in-the-loop atmospheric sensing (TILAS) system composed of a single-mode-fiber-based optical transceiver and the moving target. It is shown that the TILAS received power signal autocorrelation function strongly depends on the turbulence distribution and is weakly sensitive to the turbulence strength, while the signal variance equally depends on these parameters. Assuming the atmospheric turbulence model can be represented by a single spatially localized turbulence layer and the target position and speed are known independently, consecutive analysis of the autocorrelation function and variance of the TILAS signal allows evaluation of both the turbulence layer strength and position along the optical propagation path. It is also demonstrated that the autocorrelation function can potentially be used for the atmospheric turbulence outer scale estimation.
