Effect of aperture averaging on four petal Gaussian beams in atmospheric turbulence

Aperture averaged scintillation of four petal Gaussian beam is studied in this article. Split step propagation approach which used wave applications selected to model atmospheric turbulence. Results are plotted two types. First type the analysis aperture versus distance for constant receiver aperture. Second ones involve performance applying averaging at distance. All results compared with Gauss since commercial lasers generally radiates distribution. We observe that becomes more advantageous under moderate turbulence than weak one. In other point view, it possible obtain less index by increasing order. Our applicable optical operating atmosphere.
