Partially coherent beam propagation in atmospheric turbulence [invited].

چکیده
Partially coherent beams hold much promise in free-space optical communications for their resistance to the deleterious effects of atmospheric turbulence. We describe the basic theoretical and computational tools used to investigate these effects, and review the research to date.

Propagation of partially coherent beams: turbulence-induced degradation.
We show that, when a partially coherent beam propagates through an inhomogeneous medium such as atmospheric turbulence, the phase randomization that is induced is less effective in degrading the spatial coherence properties. By evaluating the final beam widths we report what is to our knowledge the first experimental demonstration that, on propagation through thermlly induced turbulence, a part...
متن کاملPropagation of Partially Coherent Beam in Turbulent Atmosphere: A Review
Partially coherent beam is preferred in many applications, such as free-space optical communications, remote sensing, active laser radar systems, etc., due to its resistance to the deleterious effects of atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, after presenting a historical overview on propagation of optical beams in turbulent atmosphere, we describe the basic theory for treating the propagation ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Coherent and Incoherent Laser Beams Propagation Through Turbulent Atmosphere
In this paper propagation of combined laser beam through atmosphere is investigated. Laser beam is combined via lens array arrangement. Turbulence is considered as an affecting factor of atmosphere and its effects on transverse coherence length (Fried parameter), peak intensity, propagation efficiency, and spot size of the laser beam is investigated. Coherent and incoherent combined beam are co...
متن کاملAngular spectrum representation for the propagation of arbitrary coherent and partially coherent beams through atmospheric turbulence.
An angular spectrum representation is applied for a description of statistical properties of arbitrary beamlike fields propagating through atmospheric turbulence. The Rytov theory is used for the characterization of the perturbation of the field by the atmosphere. In particular, we derive expressions for the cross-spectral density of a coherent and a partially coherent beam of arbitrary type in...
متن کاملSimulating partially coherent fields and other special beam classes in turbulence
Optical coherence theory traditionally deals with the properties of randomly fluctuating fields over long time averages. For certain applications (such as optical communications) and special beam classes (such as vortex beams), however, the averaging process can obscure important physical aspects of the field behavior. We demonstrate a new method of simulating partially coherent fields of nearl...
