Wander and Spreading of Gaussian-Schell Model Beams Propagating through Anisotropic Marine-Atmospheric Turbulence

The effects of anisotropic turbulence on the wander and spreading of Gaussian-Schell model beams propagating in non-Kolmogorov marine-atmospheric channel are investigated. Expressions for beam wander and long-term beam spreading are derived in all conditions of marine-atmospheric turbulence. Our results indicate that the beam wander and spreading of Gaussian-Schell model beams are lower in the ...

Average Polarization of Electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-Model Beams through Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence

Polarization properties of electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beams propagating through the anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence of marine-atmosphere channel are studied based on the cross-spectral density matrix. Detailed analysis shows that the average polarization decreases with increasing the spectral index, inner scale of turbulence and generalized refractive-index structure parameter....

Tensor Method for Treating the Propagation of Scalar and Electromag- netic Gaussian Schell-Model Beams: A Review

In this paper, we give a review of the tensor method for treating the propagation of scalar and electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams. Partially coherent complex curvature tensor is introduced to describe a scalar astigmatic partially coherent GSM beam with twisted phase (i.e., twisted anisotropic GSM beam). A tensor ABCD law for treating the propagation of scalar twisted anisotropi...

Changes in the statistical properties of stochastic anisotropic electromagnetic beams on propagation in the turbulent atmosphere.

We report analytic formulas for the elements of the e 2 X2 cross-spectral density matrix of a stochastic electromagnetic anisotropic beam propagating through the turbulent atmosphere with the help of vector integration. From these formulas the changes in the spectral density (spectrum), in the spectral degree of polarization, and in the spectral degree of coherence of such a beam on propagation...
