Statistics of photoelectrons in the reception of radiation which has passed through a turbulent atmosphere with a scattering region

An expression is obtained for the stationary distribution of photoelectrons at the output of a photodetector operating in the photon-counting mode when receiving radiation whose fluctuations are due to the combined activity of a turbulent layer (before and after scattering) and to a scattering region. The analytical relations obtained are shown to be correct by the use of probabilistic digital simulation
