Abstract
The related fluid dynamic theory, experimental device and some preliminary results of the study of the optical properties of a laser beam passed through a turbulent shear layer are presented. The method of image processing for the determination of the optical density from a interferogram by means of a Microneye Bullet and a Microcomputer is also described.
